I tend to feel that most of those packages should be fixed so that they
do.  If they aren't currently getting renamed then it usually means that
they include too much (i.e. both binaries and libraries, or multiple
libraries) and should be split up so that this doesn't happen.

For the rare cases where you really do want to put multiple SOs in a
single output package you can use LEAD_SONAME, but this is virtually
never the right thing to do.
