In that case, maybe you can install the shared library under
/usr/lib/dicom or something (i.e., not in the general library search
path in /usr/lib), and try to change the build system to use them.
You would not ship a seperate libarary (or libdevel) package.
That way, you do not have to worry about the external ABI/API of your
package.
Once somebody requests the external shipment of the shared library in
order to use them with 3rd party applications, you can still revisit
this problem.
