if the soname is libltdl.so.0.1.1 the package should be called libltdl0.1.1;
if, OTOH, the soname is libltdl.so.0 (which is more likely, given libtool
generates that kind of sonames), then the package should be called
libltdl0

Interesting point. There's no policy regarding .la files (no mention of
".la" in policy). If the .la files are actually useful, policy should be
amended. Ossama?
