Which is fine except that then you can't put them into dpkg -S because dpkg does not know about the aliasing that happens here. I suppose this is because /lib/* is listed before /usr/lib/* in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*-linux-gnu.conf. I suppose if one wants to use the output to find the packages associated, one needs to roundtrip through realpath once. But then again you might miss files actually installed by dpkg into /lib. So I think the question of "is there buy-in from the dpkg maintainers to support the outcome" is not a bad one. ;-) Kind regards Philipp Kern
