The problem might be caused by the application (or another library)
attempting to dlopen() "libXmu.so" instead of "libXmu.so.6".

This is bad because the ".so" symlinks to a shared library are, per policy,
only provided by -dev packages.

Moving those symlinks to the regular shlib package is the wrong thing to do
because anyone using dlopen() has a certain expectation about the soversion
of the object they're opening -- after all, they expect certain symbols to
be present.

Just my speculative guess, having seen a similar problem before.
