I believe you are right. The idea is to find a link with either of the
two formats:
libwhatever.so -> libwhatever-X.so
libwhatever.so -> libwhatever.so.X
So the two regexes really should be mutually exclusive.
However, our package (libevent) actually does the following:
libevent.so -> libevent-2.0.so.2.0.21
My question is: is this worth inclusion in lintian as an acceptable
format, or should I just add an override and be done with it?
FWIW, after a cursory look at the list of tagged packages, there are at
least a couple of other libs using the same format (libdirectfb,
libnet6, probably others).
Cheers
