Clarify dev-pkg-without-shlib-symlink is emitted for lib pkgs
Clarify that dev-pkg-without-shlib-symlink is emitted for libary
packages and not the "-dev" packages. While the latter seems more
intuative for some (most?) users, Lintian currently detects the
missing dev symlinks when checking the library package.

link referencing the corresponding shared library. Notice how the link name
doesn't include the version number -- this is because such a link is used
by the linker when other programs are built against this shared library.
