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.
https://autotools.io/libtool/version.html suggests that instead of
combining -release and -version-info, one should encode the version in
the library's name.
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.
The code to determine name of the dev symlink name looks like this:
$link_file =~ s/-[\d\.]+\.so$/.so/o;
$link_file =~ s/\.so.+$/.so/o;
So it doesn't seem to support the combination of -release and
-version-info.
Am I correct in my assumption that this is a false positive?
Probably (sort of) yes...
