I'm under the impression that any shared library *must* have
a SONAME.
Yes, but SONAME just means the name of the .so file. Policy uses
this term incorrectly to refer to the extension of the soname.
Saying that a shared library must have a SONAME is then equivalent
to saying that it must have

I thought a SONAME was something embedded into the shared object
file. As I understand things, the SONAME is completely independent of
the file name, at least in principle.
It's not quite that simple.

That is a nice, rational versioning scheme, I agree.
I don't see how it fits in this discussion, though. For one thing,
I'm not using libtool.
But all shared libraries are recommended to follow this convention.
So I guess I'm still searching for the answer to my original questions:

You mean the tag inside the library itself?
Yes.
All of the shared libraries I have installed on my machine have an

Typically, the library version number is part of the SONAME. What we are
