When it is '*.so.*' like you added below, then those libraries are used by
the installed binaries. That's what you need at runtime.

The '*.so' might be symlinks or real files and the purpose is to allow
development. That's why these files are part of -devel subpackage.

Fedora ships both, like you see in rhel-6.
