No, it says that the shared object isn't a shlib.
Lintian emits that error because the shared library doesn't have a soname,
which is a real problem for shared libraries that are intended to be
linked to.
Lintian, however, can't know that this particular library usually is
preloaded, not linked to. Hence the override.

The consensus seemed to be that if really large numbers of men were sent to
storm the mountain, then enough might survive the rocks to take the
citadel. This is essentially the basis of all military thinking.
