Well, you're half right: it's something that should be expressed as
package dependencies, at which point the runtime version check would be
redundant and perhaps too strict.

But dpkg-shlibdeps looks only at C symbols.  The effective ABI of the
SQLite library includes many things that do not show up as C symbols:
it is an interpreter for (a subset of) SQL and the ABI involves passing
strings around, which are interpreted.

The thing to do is to figure out which SQLite version-specific features
are used by a given svn codebase - when it detects the sqlite version
at build time - and work out a dependency from _that_.  Still thinking
about a good way to do that.
