*ARG* Don't set this symlink! libqt.so.1 is generated by ldconfig - that is
what it is used for. It scans /usr/lib/ for .so.x.y.z files and links the
highest versions so that .so.x -> .so.x.y and .so.x.y -> .so.x.y.z, where y
and z are the highest numbers with that prefix.
You should call ldconfig from the postinst.
