I'm not sure about overriding postinst to not to call ldconfig. But
just to think of it what if we symlink this libzim library to
/usr/lib/[<arch>],?

Will that be possible? I know we can do it to /usr/lib but not sure
how to handle <arch> stuff as it differs on different architecture.

If done, We can see if symlinking makes lintian happy. On the other hand we
should also check this doesn't break kiwix :-)
