Yes.

They should be tightened, what's in the archive does not matter when
writing dependencies.

If gnome-shell 3.8.3 needs at least libmutter0b >= 3.8.3 or exactly ==
3.8.3, that should be written in the dependency fields to avoid such
problems anyway.

That doesn't seem like a problem to me to add that, does it?
