The entries are equivalent except that the symbols files matches against
the full SONAME instead of trying to split it. So nothing is lost while
something is gained.

W: ia32-libs: shlib-without-versioned-soname emul/ia32-linux/lib/libSegFault.so 
libSegFault.so
W: ia32-libs: shlib-without-versioned-soname emul/ia32-linux/lib/libmemusage.so 
libmemusage.so
W: ia32-libs: shlib-without-versioned-soname 
emul/ia32-linux/lib/libpcprofile.so libpcprofile.so

or their native counterparts:

libc6: /lib/libSegFault.so
libc6: /lib/libmemusage.so
libc6: /lib/libpcprofile.so

Not /usr/lib but same thing.
