This class is for packages that do not work with debian library naming

I tend to feel that most of those packages should be fixed so that they
do.  If they aren't currently getting renamed then it usually means that
they include too much (i.e. both binaries and libraries, or multiple
libraries) and should be split up so that this doesn't happen.

Actually, looking at the patch more carefully I guess this does
basically address the first case above (binaries and libraries).  But it
looks like it will result in the slightly confusing situation where the
libraries go into lib${PN} but the corresponding headers are in
${PN}-dev.

Correct, this is trying to address the existing cases that have both binaries and libraries, I guess the other way to do this would be for those 5 or so packages to use "lib_packaging" and which renames the binary packages ${PN}-bin and the libraries then get auto renamed via debian renaming rules.

This is kind of the inverse of lib_packaging.bbclass, binaries go in ${PN} and libraries need to be placed into the named lib${PN}.

As for headers and debug, they go in the ${PN}-[dev,dbg] packagse

I can go with Koen's name of shlibpackaging.bbclass
