I am not aware of any issues in using dlopen() within Debian except
requiring some care over dependencies: if you require the library, you
must make sure that the dependencies in your package ensure that the
library is installed (ldd/objdump won't see it), and if you don't
absolutely need it, you must ensure that the code doesn't fail if the
library is not present.
