The only thing you are missing is that the author of SOCI-Ada and the 
project manager of SOCI is the same person ;-) which has the interest to 
keep them both alive.
That is, these two libraries are logically a single library and it is 
very likely that at some point they will merge or will be reorganized in 
some way to form a single deliverable. Either SOCI-Ada will be merged 
into SOCI or the necessary part of SOCI will be extracted and delivered 
with SOCI-Ada.

In short - there is no need to worry about additional dependencies and 
the actual advantage of the current structure is that the part of 
library that actually interacts with the database server is pretty 
well-tested, because its user base is relatively big.
