However, you are aware that installing a private library in a public directory is a policy violation (various bits in section 8)? Lintian overrides doesn't make any difference to ld.so when determining if a library is public. You should instead be installing it in a private directory (such as /usr/lib/encfs) and using RUNPATH or RPATH. Thanks, James
