I'm finding it very difficult to have software that works in multiple environment (Mac and Ubuntu), as well as multiple versions of Ubuntu, using your model. Since each repository generally only provides one version of *libarchive*, wiring the library to 12 (for Ubuntu 12.04), 13 (for Ubuntu 14.04), or 14 (for OS X) always leaves software that is broken. If -I- can't get it working in all of my environments, then it would be absurd to try and support a general user-base using this design.
This is why everyone always installs a general (unversioned) symlink. TLDP (http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html at 3.1.1): Thus, /usr/lib/libreadline.so.3 is a fully-qualified soname, which ldconfig would set to be a symbolic link to some realname like /usr/lib/libreadline.so.3.0. There should also be a linker name, /usr/lib/libreadline.so which could be a symbolic link referring to /usr/lib/libreadline.so.3.
