Your explicit Requires are version-less. They are no better than the automatic
SONAME deps. They are fragile even, since they would break if a library were
moved to another package or if a package were renamed.

The point of adding the comment here is to make the reviewer aware of this,
too, as this ought to have caught during the review.

It doesn't take much to verify that the SONAMEs include major versions.
Multiple libraries using the same SONAME would be a bad conflict in the package
collection [unless it's a special-case of alternative installations that is
being treated appropriately].
