Looks OK to me if the output is correct.

The majority of packages seem to work that way.... I imagine that 
they were done this way since you should already know the
'basename' to check the version #. 

The package listing you're making would be the first time that we've
had a good reason for implicitly putting the packagename in the 
version file. 

Adding: echo 'basename $1' should give the packagename
if you want that in the output as well.

libc.so.6 was used as far back as libc-2.0.x from what I could find.
I couldn't locate if it was actually in libc-2.0.x or backported from
later release of libc for compatibility. Anyone that has worked
making any libc-2.1+ packages probably knows.

If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question!
