No, deborphan is following Debian Policy here.

I think you have to. From Policy 8.2:
---
8.2 Run-time support programs
If your package has some run-time support programs which use the shared
library you must not put them in the shared library package. If you do
that then you won't be able to install several versions of the shared
library without getting filename clashes.

Putting the secript into the library package violates a "must" and is
considered a serious bug.
