so are you saying that the package is doing some dlopen-hack to use the libraries?

because otherwise the package needs to link the libraries, and then shlibs should
do the subst work.

(note: I didn't clone the repository, but in my opinion the cleaner way should be to find,
link and use them, not to find them at runtime if available and dlopen them, but I might be
wrong, because I don't know the context)

cheers,
