You can just say usr/lib/*/libburn.so.4*

or even better
usr/lib/*/libburn.so.*

that way at the next soname bump you won't need
to change the install files too.
($somebody might object that having the 4 makes you
sure you don't miss a soname bump)

not sure why you ship a static library,
we usually do not build/ship them
(shipping a static library is always a security 

nightmare)


(if a static library is really needed you might consider adding another -static binary
package, instead of putting in the same binary, but this is up to you)


>- Shall i dput -f now ?


sure, mentors allows to dput, dput and dput again the same package.
Only the last version is saved, even if you can see the version logs in the
package view

if you are talking about the package at #679249 you might directly ask this
to the maintainer

why? :)
I do not get the question, this is the reason why I can't answer
(not that I will have an answer)
