As far as I understand "libspreadsheet-1.12.6.so" supposed to be a
symbolic link to the file like "libspreadsheet-1.12.6.so.N"
Assuming that "6" is "soname" I think it comes down to 

  libspreadsheet-1.12.so --> libspreadsheet-1.12.so.6
  libspreadsheet.so      --> libspreadsheet-1.12.so.6

or something like that.
For example in goffice:

  libgoffice-0.10.so.10 --> libgoffice-0.10.so.10.0.6
  libgoffice-0.10.so    --> libgoffice-0.10.so.10.0.6

I wish I could explain better (or provide better examples). I hope
some URLs that I mentioned in

    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=723903

could answer why soname usually follows after ".so".
