shared libraries and .so extension

[Brian May <bam@debian.org>]

Hello,

I am attempting to package dar 2.1.2 for Debian.

libtool for some reason doesn't want to give the shard library the .so
extension.

[633] [scrooge:bam] ~/tree/debian/+packages/dar/dar-2.1.2/src/libdar >/bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=link i386-linux-g++  -g -O2   -o libdar.la -rpath /usr/lib -version-info `./get_version` catalogue.lo compressor.lo deci.lo defile.lo ea.lo ea_filesystem.lo erreurs.lo etage.lo filesystem.lo filtre.lo generic_file.lo header.lo header_version.lo real_infinint.lo libdar.lo macro_tools.lo mask.lo path.lo sar.lo sar_tools.lo scrambler.lo storage.lo terminateur.lo test_memory.lo tools.lo tronc.lo tuyau.lo user_interaction.lo wrapperlib.lo zapette.lo special_alloc.lo archive.lo crypto.lo  -lattr -ldl -lbz2 -lz

Is this broken or some new standard?

If it is broken, any ideas why?

This is libtool 1.5.

Thanks in advance.
