The question you have to ask yourself (or upstream) is: Is the shared object for the sole use of kbiff, or intended as a library/component for other applications, too? In the first case, it should not end up in /usr/lib, but a private directory. If it is really a library, it should have versioning so that the interface is not eternally set in stone. You could also start to think about putting the lib in its own package, then. This can probably wait, though, until other programs that use the library get packaged for Debian. -- Robbe
