--- Comment #2 from Petr Menšík pemensik@redhat.com --- This package contains a lot of lib*.so shared libraries used by executables, which lack soname versions [1]. They are required by packaging guidelines. Those libraries are used at link time as a normal library, not as plugins loaded runtime.

Such format is usually provided by *-devel subpackages, but this package does not have such thing.
I think they are supposed to be internal for the program and they should be placed into %{_libdir}/%{name} with using rpath for this case [2]. It seems those libraries are not meant to be reused by any other tools directly, because no -devel headers allows linking to them. It seems those names do not conflicts with any existing packages now, but those names are not specialized enough. I think moving them to to application specific subdirectory is desireable to avoid future conflicts.
