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.

I've re-read this bug report, and to me it seems clear that for guile
version 1.8 the guile libraries really needs to be in /usr/lib.  So
there is not much we can do about that.

Thus, can't we just invoke ldconfig in guile-gnutls's postinst and
postrm to solve the policy bug?

Is there any downside to doing that?

It would be nice to close this RC bug.
