Sorry if I misunderstood the problem, but if you add them only at the moment when the major version is bumped (the soname changes), it is fine, because the dependency like 'Require: libexpat.so.1()(64bit)' will not be satified anyway (there will be libexpat.so.2()(64bit) instead), no? (Is the problem that for some libraries this moment may be very far in the future or never and the set of new symbols will thus grow without bounds anyway?)
