To deal with the external usage of liblwgeom built from the postgis sources, the upstream developers now use the -release libtool option along with -version-info to better support installation of multiple postgis versions.
The -release option was added to support the multiple version use case on Windows, for the Debian package the shared library approach with -version-info is sufficient. Before PostGIS 2.2.0 the SONAME for liblwgeom used to include the full upstream version (e.g. liblwgeom-2.1.8.so), for 2.2.0rc1 it briefly used the liblwgeom.so.2 SONAME. Lintian currently warns about the missing symlinks from liblwgeom-2.2.so to liblwgeom-2.2.so.2.2.0, because libtool only creates the liblwgeom.so (and liblwgeom-2.2.so.2) symlink. Am I correct in my assumption that this is a false positive? The libtool manual seems to suggest that this is the expected and correct behaviour, but lintian expects liblwgeom-2.2.so instead of liblwgeom.so which may just be a naive assumption.
