You could change the build system to make libgthumb.la a convenience
library (if it is using libtool), so that gthumb gets linked to it
statically and libgthumb.so does not get installed.
Or does any other package use libgthumb.so? If not, I do not see the
point in installing it in /usr/lib, it looks like a (build-system)
implementation detail to me.
