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

[Junichi Uekawa <dancer@netfort.gr.jp>]

Hi,

> 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.

> /etc/ld.so.conf, so should this become the recommended behaviour?

Having such would require Pre-Depends on the version which implements
it. Looking at the changelog, 2.3.6-16 looks like it was first
introduced, but it's been fixed again and again through 2.3.6.ds1-13
etc.

Is it ready for mainline?

regards,
