Still false positives here.

eagle@windlord:~$ for f in /usr/lib/*so.*;

/usr/lib/libsaml.so.2 is private
/usr/lib/libsaml.so.2.0.0 is private
/usr/lib/libsaml.so.3 is private
/usr/lib/libsaml.so.3.0.0 is private
/usr/lib/libshibsp-lite.so.2 is private
/usr/lib/libshibsp-lite.so.2.0.0 is private
/usr/lib/libshibsp.so.2 is private
/usr/lib/libshibsp.so.2.0.0 is private

Those are all regular shared libraries and intended to be used as such.
