Both the soname and the package name must be changed so that package
management tools can avoid installing binary-incompatible libraries and
applications.

If you can assure me that a videolink package built against the current
libxul-dev should be binary-compatible with every future version of
libxul0d then I will remove the additional versioned dependency. I
would love to do without the versioned dependency, but my current
understanding is that you cannot provide this assurance.
