According to Policy, Chapter 8.1 "the run-time shared library needs to
be placed in a package whose name changes whenever the shared object
version changes". You might need to do that, though I am not sure if
this statement is absolute, since it is written to ensure that two
different versions of the library can be installed at the same time,
while if there is only one application using it, and the library is not
useful for other packages, this might be not neccessary.

I'd appreciate comments on this.

Best regards 

Benjamin
