Hi,
you always have to test the new package when you move files around
between library and devel package.

It seems you are right. But just because it's in /usr/lib this doesn't
mean it can't be a plugin.
I've thought a bit about the libltdl problem: I guess I've mixed this
up a bit, the important thing for libltdl is the presence of the .la
file, it doesn't need the .so symlink. Libltdl provides some kind of
intelligent dlopen, so you can use it to open a plugin library with
something like 'open(libfoo)', it will parse the libfoo.la file and
open libfoo.so.3.
