Based on other replies to this thread, I understand that, I have to
create the link myself in the run-time library package. I also
understand the reason for not employing ldconfig to do that.
But can you please tell me, where in the policy does it say that? I
could have missed it while reading and would like to know which
sentences convey this information. Please dont just give the section
numbers, I am looking for some sentences quoted from the debian-ploicy here.
thanks

Please accept my apology. I sent it to the wrong list by accident.
Should have been sent to debian-mentors. But out of habit, I typed
debian-user in the To field of the email.
