Shared libraries and sections

[Will Newton <will@misconception.org.uk>]

Two quick questions for anyone who has the time:

1. I have a package that by default installs a library libname.so (as opposed 
to a versioned name like libname.so.1). I assume this is bad because it means 
two major versions cannot reside on the same system. Does this need to be 
fixed? There doesn't seem to be any explicit policy on this.

2. Is "science" the correct section for a network simulator? It's computer 
science I suppose and "net" is certainly inappropriate.
