That sums it up pretty well, indeed. The only potentially trouble spot is that the order in which (in your example) db3 and db4 are installed affects to which the db.dylib symlink points. If a package has to link against a particular version, that could generate problems. Alas, in such cases, the package could possibly be modified to use the correct version directly instead.
You don't want to build a package twice only to be able to split it into two disjoint .debs. Maybe we could add some feature that allows to create both "variants" (although variants is not quite the correct term here) in one build. Note that package variants are strictly spoken completly orthogonal to this.
