Thanks, that would be sufficent, I currently handcrafted the links,
and the software still works.
Since an OS should not only serve the developers of the OS, but
also expect simple users having installed "other" software, existing
compatibility links should always be retained, since they are there
because they are part of the expected linkage scheme (although it
would clearly be advantageous if the software could just link to
the generic lib*.so file, but most libraries are nowadays not
version-downward compatible...).
