Thanks for the report, I have been investigating a bit this issue, libexec_weston was introduced in weston_8, it was created for the purpose of the reset of the test suite so it doesn't need to exec() but just load libexec_weston.so. libexec_weston is not something anyone else should develop against, it is only needed by weston binary. I'll look into dropping /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/weston/libexec_weston.so since weston is linked to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/weston/libexec_weston.so.0 which should be shipped in the weston package.
