That makes the package fail to comply with Policy 8.2:

http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html#s-sharedlibs-support-files

"If your package contains files whose names do not change with each
change in the library shared object version, you must not put them in
the shared library package."
