Is this what you are talking about?

 libcurl3-gnutls deb libs optional arch=any
 libcurl3-nss deb libs optional arch=any
 libcurl4 deb libs optional arch=any
 libcurl4-doc deb doc optional arch=all
 libcurl4-gnutls-dev deb libdevel optional arch=any
 libcurl4-nss-dev deb libdevel optional arch=any
 libcurl4-openssl-dev deb libdevel optional arch=any

with libraries e.g. for libcurl3:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4.4.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.3 -> libcurl.so.4
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4 -> libcurl.so.4.4.0

 libcrypto1.1-udeb udeb debian-installer optional arch=any
 libssl-dev deb libdevel optional arch=any
 libssl-doc deb doc optional arch=all
 libssl1.1 deb libs important arch=any
 libssl1.1-udeb udeb debian-installer optional arch=any

Well, as it is now in Devuan ASCII we have e.g.
libpolkit-backend-consolekit-1-0 and the library name is
libpolkit-backend-1.so.0 -> libpolkit-backend-1.so.0.0.0
while
libpolkit-backend-elogind-1-0 has
libpolkit-backend-1.so.0 -> libpolkit-backend-1.so.0.0.0

In my opinion that is consistent with Debian policy.

Otherwise we should name the packages like:
libpolkit1-backend-consolekit etc, if we are to follow the above examples.
