This is not really true.  Lesstif does use the same soname, but it
doesn't have to.  It only aims for source compatibility, so it would
be sufficient to have a libXm.so in the development package.  It would
be nice if it didn't use the same name for the shared library.  I've
tried and failed to convince the Lesstif authors of this.
