Are those libraries private to salome?  (In other words, are you sure
that no other package will be linked against them?)
  * If yes, there is no reason to provide libsalome5.1.3-0 and
libsalome-dev packages, these libs are shipped by another package
(python2.5-salome?) and can safely be moved into /usr/lib/salome/
  * If no, they should indeed go into /usr/lib/ but name collisions will happen.
Maybe the answer is a mix of both, some libs are private and some
others are public.

BTW when looking at this issue, I found that python2.5-salome contains
shared libraries, it thus must be arch:any and not arch:all.  It also
contains static libraries which can surely be dropped.
BTW2, I wonder whether salome, python2.5-salome, libsalome5.1.3-0 and
libsalome-dev could be merged into a single package (if all libs are
private, of course).
