Well, assuming the adaptors cannot be used outside of libgnustep-dl2-0, then they do not really need to depend on libgnustep-dl2-0, so their shlibs dependency can be trimmed. However if the interface of libgnustep-dl2-0 change then there must be a mechanism that prevent libgnustep-dl2-0 to load an adaptor for the wrong interface.
