The reason why they're separated is because Debian Policy requires that
you be able to install multiple versions of a library with different
SONAMEs at the same time. It makes upgrades a lot easier and helps with
the ordering of package installation. This unfortunately (for this
particular case) means that one cannot put files into a shared library
package whose paths don't change with each change in the SONAME.
This is somewhat irrelevant for Shibboleth since it doesn't make a great
deal of sense to have multiple Shibboleth libraries installed at the same
time, but it's one of those project-wide guarantee things.
I'll tighten down all of the dependencies. Thanks for the information!
