I mean, if you install any library via a Debian package, it should result in ldconfig being run. But I would also find it normal that a "make install" doesn't run ldconfig. I'm not sure what I expect the result of "make install" to be. Should it update the symbolic link? Or should it just copy the file? I'm actually expecting it to just install the file and not update any symbolic link and that ldconfig should do that. But I'm not sure everybody agrees to that, and I think many cases of "make install" will result in the symblink being updated somehow.
