hm, on further experimentation, i now take it back -- this warning
appeared in libgpg-error-dev because debian/rules in libgpg-error source
was manually adding an additional breakout-link.  In particular, i think
for libgpg-error-dev the problem was that there was a link in lib/ that
was pointing to usr/lib/ (the other way around from what Aurelian
reported).

After removing the override_dh_link target in libgpg-error, lintian
doesn't complain about either breakout-link or
lacks-unversioned-link-to-shared-library

sorry for the additional confusion,
