debian package dependency, how to set it for different version of ubuntu?

My problem is our debian package require some other libs, but these libs on different version of ubuntu are named differently.

for example,

libgnutls26 --- this can be found on ubuntu12.04, but not on ubuntu14.04 (probably libgnutls28 is used instead) . (please notice that it is only an example)

Is there a way that I can include it, then the correct version on both 12.04 and 14.04 version of ubuntu can be found?

Thanks, LJ

Same question here!

The best work-around I have found is setting the dependency to the dev version (libgnutls-dev in your case). The development package depends on the compiled package and installs the proper version automatically. Sloppy but it works.
