More details are in order, I think.
To use the library, you use a command line something like:
LD_PRELOAD=libnjamd.so program_to_debug
If the library is in some directory other than a normal library directory,
the full path will have to go in the LD_PRELOAD variable, or LD_LIBRARY_PATH
will need to be set as well.
That's not very convenient, and in fact is the main reason why I want to
package it at all (I got sick of typing
LD_PRELOAD=/home/sam/njamd/lib/libnjamd.so all the time).
If the .so symlink is not included, the version of the NJAMD library to use
will also need to go in the LD_PRELOAD variable. That's not just
inconvenient, it's insane.
Another example of a similar package, as someone on this list pointed out,
is debauch. It has a .so symlink in /usr/lib as well, and a recent policy
version.

Obviously, otherwise it'd be pretty useless. :)
