I think it can happen with symbols as well: if a package builds both
foo-bin and libfoo0, then dpkg-shlibdeps will calculate foo-bin's
dependency on libfoo0 from the libfoo0.symbols file on the system, not
the one from the package.

You'll get a warning about unresolved symbols in foo-bin's binaries, but
that's all.  See #644791/#609159 on that topic.

Cheers,
