Package: tsocks
Version: 1.8beta5-9.1
Severity: serious

tsocks distributes a shared library without an SONAME in /usr/lib. It
should either gain an SONAME or be moved to a private directory such as
/usr/lib/tsocks.

Chapter 8 of the Debian Policy Manual states that:

    Instead the shared library is loaded by its SONAME, which exists on
    the file system as a symlink pointing to the full name of the shared
    library.  This symlink must be provided by the package.

Since this shared library does not have an SONAME, the symlink doesn't
exist, violating a "must" requirement of the policy.
