In both these cases, I manually created unversioned symlinks to those

The official way to get the unversioned symbolic links is to install the -dev
or -devel package for that library. Of course, you're not supposed to require
end-users to do that.
Does not always work, e.g. in the case of Debian. -dev will install the
.h and .a files, but won't necessarily set up unversioned symlinks.
Anybody: what's the position with Ubuntu, as the leading Debian derivative?
