The thing is you just named 3 cases were they are useful for unrelated reasons
(namely, saving mirror space via an arch: all package), while you didn't
provide the reason for libtorrent.

Maybe I was unclear. What I meant is that perhaps, given that libtorrent is only
used by rtorrent, it should be shipped as /usr/lib/rtorrent/libtorrent.so. I
don't know if this is possible, but I really do wonder if it useful to install
it under /usr/lib/.
