[Debian-med-packaging] Correct handling of single-.so libraries

Tue Oct 27 21:34:09 UTC 2015

Hi all,

I'm having trouble working out how to correctly follow the Debian policy
regarding packaging of shared object libraries. If upstream only provides a
single .so, with no versioned symlinks, how does one install this correctly? I
assume this is a simple and common problem, but I can't find notes about *how*
to do this in any policy, only that you *must* do this.

If anyone knows of a package which solves this problem, let me know and I'll
study it.

Cheers,
Kevin
