The explicit override of dh_makeshlibs was done in 2012 by intrigeri. And I 
never thought, that a ldconfig trigger is needed for a private library. But 
okay I learnt I needs that. Now I understand more why Helumt was telling in 
#902792, why libtorsocks need to be treated like a public library.

Can someone have a look at salsa if my changes makes sense?

I'm a little bit unsure about the move libtorsocks from subdir to normal 
libdir (that was discussed https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?
bug=902792,#41)

Regards,

hefee
