You must call ldconfig from the postinst if you install shared libraries. This has come up recently several times, and the Debian policy manual is wrong [1]. We need to change the docs so that people will stop asking about this. In my experience, the warnings have come from dangling symlink in the lib directories. I'm not sure how they get there.
