Christian,
Danek Duvall pointed out in a recent mail on a different
ARC case:

In this case, it seems to be:
% elfdump /usr/lib/libid3.so | grep SONAME
libid3-3.8.so.3
Someone else might want to chip in here (Brian?),
but I think the SONAME should be the shorter-form
name (libid3.so), and also that you should list
the symlinks as interfaces.
(Some more discussion on SONAMEs in ARCs here:
http://sac.sfbay/Archives/CaseLog/arc/PSARC/2008/071/mail )
There is some repetition/confusion in the last 2
paragraphs of the Tech description ("For these
reasons...").
Also, some typos:
