Hi again,
Let me first clear up a confusion:
I agree that putting a library in a sub-directory does not disambiguate
ld.so searches. If libFoo.so.1 exists in both /usr/lib/bar
and /usr/lib/baz and both these directories are in the ld.so search path
(one way or another), then there is an ambig

In Policy Bug#519941, it was proposed to remove the Policy permission
for packages to modify ld.so.conf in exceptional circumstances. The
implication would be that all packages which do this will need to either
move their libraries into a standard library directory like /usr/lib if
they're really
