Sure. I just used "0" in my preliminary packaging work but the lack of soname may be a problem. I'm afraid that it won't be easy to convince upstream as the library has an history of API breakage [1]. Do you know if we have a comprehensive "how-to" / "why" document to explain these problems ? The upstream guide [2] mentions a library guide [3], and there's also [4] but everything is good to be forwarded. If upstream is not interested, I believe that the best solution is to package a static library (or embed it into the brogue source package) but I'd like to avoid that.
