Aren’t there special obsolete lists in the yast2-type metadata (basically a diff between 12.2 and 12.3 package lists, for example), which hint zypper to see whether {an old library can be removed without generating a dependency problem}?
There is never a need to obsolete a pure library package. Once no other package requires it any more it can safely be removed. This is even true for library packages that still exist.
