Comment (by hvr):

 Replying to [comment:19 nomeata]:
 >>  As nomeata said in comment 16, we can simply ship our .so files in a
 private directory and make our dynamic programs search there (via RPATH or
 some other trick).
 > Or via a „private version number” – it should be sufficient if they have
 a file name that’s different from any filename resulting from a separately
 packaged library.
 If the purpose of those DSO are actually not really shared, what about
 simply linking them statically so that no orphaned DSOs are left over? Is
 there any value in having DSOs that are used by only one executable?
