Bug#411510: debian-policy: Document use of /etc/ld.so.conf.d

Policy section 10.2 currently states that packages installing libraries
into private directories should edit /etc/ld.so.conf directly. There
now seems to be an /etc/ld.so.conf.d directory into which packages can
drop files that are included from the main /etc/ld.so.conf file.

Having a package drop a file into that directory seems easier than
having everyone re-implement the logic to correctly edit
/etc/ld.so.conf, so should this become the recommended behaviour?
