AFAICT, I've summed up in 'Naming library packages' in libpkg-guide,
and created a little shell script 'd-shlibs' which contains 
a shell snippet to generate a package name from shared library name.

The logic used in the shell script is really simple; 
remove the .so., and add a '-' if it's ambiguous.
