This bug is in the same situation of #553109: it does ship *.so under
/usr/lib/, but those *.so are only used by the Tcl interpreter to load C
code stubs binding a C library to Tcl.
It is in theory possible for users to link against it (actually,
maintainer claims it is not, [probably, my bet, due to some missing
symbols which are available only inside the Tcl interpreter]: see the
lintian overrides in the package, I haven't actually checked which is
the case). Still it should not be the rule.
So, once more, we can fix this with proper ldconfig invocation in
postinst or we can move those *.so in a different place. The former
solution is likely to require a change in the Tcl interpreter to look
for objects elsewhere.
Manoj: what is the -policy stance on this? Should we fix that by
actually invoking ldconfig no matter what? If this is the case, I attach
a patch offering an NMU in that direction. Please Cc me if you want me
to actually do the NMU (otherwise I'll eventually get back to this bug
log, maybe ...).
Cheers.
