Bzzt!  Oh, once again, Mr Troup, you have jumped to a snap judgement
and left parts of your anatomy flapping in the breeze.  In fact I am
perfectly correct according to the ld.so maintainer.  (Hint: You
should call ldconfig in postinst if and only if $1 = configure).

So BZZZZZZZT to you too, and may that be a lesson to you (but I doubt it).
