It most assuredly is *NOT* safe and we did not run into problems when
conditionalizing the call to ldconfig. If you don't believe me,
please just think about the possible invocation of a postinst and what
would happen if ldconfig was run in all of those situations (hint:
libfoo.so*.dpkg-tmp). If you still don't believe me please provide
evidence of these `problems' we allegedly encountered.
