Bug#553109: guile-gnutls: postinst-must-call-ldconfig /usr/lib/libguile-gnutls-v-1.so.0.0.0 by the dynamic library loader. Therefore, the package must call "ldconfig" in its postinst script.

Thanks, Andy.  Debian people: apologies for maybe confusing this issue
by raising something that will be only be available in our next
release.  For 1.8.x extensions have to go in /usr/lib (as you've already
concluded in other emails for this bug).
