But they still don't help on picking the correct package. At least for one RPM-based distro (balcanization of RPM-based distros is completely another topic) I know "apt-get install libnautilus-extension.so.1" installed the proper package (as well as "apt-get install /usr/bin/foobar").

Such dependency won't be picked automatically by dpkg-shlibdeps too, and need to be added manualy by packager. -- http://fossarchy.blogspot.com/
