Please include /lib/.+/ in the search space.  This makes Gnome applets which put files only in 
/usr/lib/appletname/... get proper statistics, as well as kernel-module only packages which put
files in /lib/modules/... .

Since only /lib and /usr/lib themselves, but not their subdirectories are scanned by ldconfig,
this doesn't add any false positives for libraries.
