I think the patterns I used for this check were based on others already in
use in lintian.  I agree that this should probably only be applied to real
files, not to compat symlinks.

But, do we risk getting a false negative for cases where the real file has
a weird filename whereas the soname (as provided by the symlink) follows one
of the standard patterns?
