Thanks for the report. The reason that csound is not packaged with the shared library is that packaging shared libraries is another beast entirely (Debian Policy). I don't have the expertise or time to do it, but if you (or someone you recruit) can help out I welcome patches.
I'm working on packaging csound5, but I don't think we'll see the shared library there either, for the same reasons. If you need the shared library the best option right now is building it yourself.
