Good catch, I have fixed this in git, so it will be in next upload.

The knot-libs contains private libraries with no stable API/ABI yet
and it's not to be used outside Knot DNS (yet). However the code
is shared between knot, knot-dnsutils and knot-host, hence the
de-duplication.

This will get fixed when we stabilize the API (and ABI) in the future.

Don't bother now, but I would be glad to have a review once we
switch to stable API/ABI and split the packages to
lib<SONAME><SOVERSION>
naming.
