If it's a shared library, and nothing links to it, what's the point of packaging it? :) If it's a plug-in or something like that (hint: dlopen), then Lintian errors are spurious, as long as you put your .so file in a private directory, i.e. one that isn't in ld.so.conf. -- Digital Electronic Being Intended for Assassination and Nullification
