The same is true of binaries.

Here was my idea:

SplitOff: <<
  Package: %N-shlibs
...
<<
SplitOff2: <<
  Package: %N-loaders
  Depends: %N-shlibs (= %v-%r)
  Files: lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders
<<

That's what we do with binaries.  Maybe the (= %v-%r) is too restrictive,
but eventually that will be handled by the dpkg/shlibs system, to get
the correct versions in place.

Other packages would need to say "Depends: gdk-pixbuf-loaders" when
appropriate. 

I guess we might call it gdk-pixbuf-plugins instead; that might be more
clear.
