If a package is updated, only the files from the new version are left
on the system (modulo configuration files and data files created by
the programm (such as configuration in your ~). These do not apply
here, however).

So, no, you don’t have to search for these libs manually, thanks to a
decent package manager also known as APT :)

Best,
