I'm guessing that debian already has a naming policy for this sort of thing, since I vaguely recall seeing some naming that I considered really ugly at the time. So interested parties should probably do a little research on other distros, to avoid needlessly introducing "yet another naming scheme" if there is an existing accepted one already out there.
For the libraries I've maintain it looks like neither OpenSuSE nor Fedora/RedHat have any standard.
Some libraries are packaged as libLIBVERSION-UPSTREAMFULLVERSION-DISTROVERSION (like libMagickCore1-6.4.5.4-15.1.x86_64.rpm whih includes libMagickCore.so.1.0.0 from ImageMagick 6.4.5-4).
Others have libUPSTREAMMAJORVERSION-UPSTREAMFULLVERSION-DISTROVERSION (like libsoup22-2.2.100-50.23.x86_64.rpm which includes libsoup-2.2.so.8.5.0 from libsoup-2.2.100)
