 The lib itself.

 libfoo.so.1.2.3
 libfoo.so -> libfoo.so.1.2.3
 libfoo.so.1 -> libfoo.so.1.2.3

 postinst:
  ldconfig

 postrm:
  ldconfig

  You can gather a lot of info from the files in "/var/lib/dpkg/info".
It's nice to have it all out in the open in a directory of files like
that.  No special tools (other than dired or `mc'), are required to
see what other packages do and where they put files.  I like to use
`dired' and `igrep', in XEmacs.  It's easy to answer a question by
searching.  :-)
