No, our arch-independent package ships its own independent
/usr/share/doc subdirectory which will always contain its appropriate
changelog, so it doesn't need any dependency on the library (let alone a
lockstep dependency).
If your arch-dep and arch-indep packages *do* have a versioned
dependency relationship for other reasons (e.g. the arch-dep package is
not just documentation), then because arch-dep and arch-indep can
already have version skew, you *already* have to either assume that
arch-indep will never be binNMU'd (which is a safe assumption until
Debian's buildd infrastructure knows how to build Architecture:all
packages, at which point there will be much rejoicing):
Package: foo-bin
Depends: foo-common (= ${source:Version})
or use a slightly less strict relationship, perhaps something like this:
Package: foo-bin
Depends: foo-common (>= ${source:Version}),
foo-common (<= ${binary:Version})
