The .so symlink is in the -dev package. It would be against Debian
policy to provide it with the library, and it's not what you want.
You want to fix beagle to *build* against the -dev package of galago,
to record the SONAME of the library and load the library with the
full path (including SONAME: libgalago.so.3); this means that beagle
will depend on known version of libgalago's ABI, and not the current
one. Loading "libgalago.so" expects galago's ABI to never break, which
is a nice wish.
