It checks if the soname of a library as noted in the shlibs file
matches the "soname" portion of the shared library package name.
Debian policy specifies that shared libraries be named in the
form of
lib<library name><soname>
so they should match.

They are versioned very strongly.
If other programs use this library, they need to be recompiled
on every upload of console-tools.
They should be named "libconsole0" or something like
that, and preferrably maintained with proper soname versioning.
> libcom_err 2 libcomerr2, e2fsprogs (>= 1.27-2)
If and when libcom_err.so.2 in e2fsprogs bumps up the soname, to
generate libcom_err.so.3, there will no longer be a package that
provides libcom_err.so.2, which means that packages compiled against
it won't work.
> libss 2 libss2, e2fsprogs (>= 1.27-2)
> libEterm 0.9.1 eterm
This should go into libetterm0.9.1, if other programs
link to it
> /usr/lib/libfakeroot/libfakeroot 0
This is an exception
> libgif 3 libungif3g (>= 3.0-2) | giflib3g (>= 3.0-5.2)
This is an exception. We had this 3 -> 3g kind of
change for glibc transition.
> libgdkcardimage 0 gnome-card-games
This should go into a shared library package of its own.
> libkmultipage 0 kview (>= 4:2.2.2-0)
ditto
> kword 0 kword
This shouldn't be in the shlibs file.
> libdl 1 ldso (>= 1.9.7-0)
This probably doesn't belong in shlibs file ?
> libbz2 0 libbz2
The package name should have been libbz2-0.
> /lib/ld-linux 2 libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4)
> ld-linux 2 libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4)
I really doubt if any program should
link with ld-linux...
> libdl 2 libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4)
> libpam_misc 0 libpam0g (>= 0.72-1)
> libpamc 0 libpam0g (>= 0.72-1)
This is the remains of glibc transition.
I think the most problematic one I found was
"procps" . It's linked in by many programs,
and I had experienced a breakage in the past.
