Is providing .so is a new packaging standard? I miss that. Where is the documentation about that?

You can see it documented here at:

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_package_guidelines#Package_relations

and

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_package_guidelines#Package_dependencies

AFAIK it's not policed and no heads will go rolling by using the traditional package names for dependencies, but general future of packaging is to provide/depend on shared objects rather than packages themselves.
