Because libnewt.so.0.50 is a symlink to libnewt-utf8.so.0.50.17.
$ ldd tmp/cdrom/tree/usr/lib/cdebconf/frontend/newt.so
libnewt.so.0.50 => /usr/lib/libnewt.so.0.50 (0x40005000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40014000)
libslang.so.1-UTF8 => /lib/libslang.so.1-UTF8 (0x40124000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40185000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x401a6000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
so mklibs only sees libnewt.so.0.50 and strips off the suffix and gets
libnewt_pic.a.

Because of library reduction when using my new newt frontend? I haven't
done any actual measuring, but I thought the whole point with _pic libs
and mklibs was to reduce the size of the libs?
