That's how ordinary "compat-" packages work anyway. You let a _new_
compat- package provide the SONAMES needed by old binaries. The
SONAME dependencies don't care which package contains the needed
files.

Those packages are broken by design.

Same applies to BuildRequires and the current brokeness due to these
"virtual provides" madness. A package which "BuildRequires: wxGTK2-devel"
cannot be built with compat-wxGTK2-devel which "Provides: wxGTK2-devel"
and vice versa.
