Let me restate.  You seem to be arguing that, because R itself doesn't consume
it's shared libraries via ldd(), sonames serve no purpose, in this case.  Please
correct me if I'm putting words in your mouth.

Because you asked, "Yes, well, but are there other customers?"  Also, I'm trying
to put myself in the perspective of package users.

Is this a more appropriate example?

# ldd /usr/local/lib/R/library/tseries/libs/tseries.so | grep libR
libRblas.so => /usr/local/lib/R/lib/libRblas.so (0x80120c000)
libR.so => /usr/local/lib/R/lib/libR.so (0x801c00000)
