For Debian (sid):

apt-rdepends guile-common:
guile-common
  Reverse Depends: guile1.4 (1:1.4-26)
guile1.4
  Reverse Depends: guile1.4-slib (= 1:1.4-26)
  Reverse Depends: libguile-dev (= 1:1.4-26)
guile1.4-slib
  Reverse Depends: libautounit-guile (0.15.2-5)
libguile-dev

Seems like there is nothing besides libautounit-guile:

apt-cache show libautounit-guile
Package: libautounit-guile
Priority: optional
Section: interpreters
Installed-Size: 65
Maintainer: James LewisMoss <address@hidden>
Architecture: all
Source: autounit
Version: 0.15.2-5
Depends: guile-1.6-slib | guile1.4-slib
Filename: pool/main/a/autounit/libautounit-guile_0.15.2-5_all.deb
Size: 12334
MD5sum: b991215b0b0d182c78143df19153b74c
Description: Guile Unit Testing framework
 This package provides the guile libraries to unit test guile programs.

So even this seems to be able to run with bothe versions...

Guile 1.4 is in Debian probably for users using programs not yet
ported to 1.6...
