I guess by "cross distro", you mean that you have some binaries which
need to run on multiple distros, some of which have this naming and
some of which do not?

I am a bit worried about this as it is the kind of thing we add, then
totally forget about removing so it gets carried even after it no
longer makes sense (and the library name/version changes again for
example).

Ugly as it may be, I'm wondering if there should be a separate recipe
to handle this link which the binaries could depend upon. Even a
separate package for it and an error if the target lib doesn't exist
might be better.

Cheers,

Richard
