This is an unfortunate situation.  Because libtool doesn't respect the
transformation, the .so files are renamed in debian/rules, and this is
why the @fakeroot_transformed@ substitution is done.

The only better solution I can think of is to do as you say in the
upstream source and then carry a Debian-specific patch forever in
the package.

I'll think about this.
