I am considering to ignore this issue, and rather name the library 
package: libsystemc, or maybe even install the shared library in the 
-dev package and drop the library package (libsystemc0), since this is 
not a library to be linked against other software libraries or apps that 
would be packaged in a linux distribution, it is rather a library used 
by simulation models to be written by the users and run using special 
simulation software (such as verilator and probably iverilog), so there 
is no need in such case to split shared & dev packages.

What do you think ?
