Just as a data point, it's possible (I'm not sure if it's the case with
Xerces, but it *is* the case with other libraries) that the OP is right.

The Debian Policy Manual recently had to be amended a bit to allow for
shared library files named as libfoo-<version>.so; for a full discussion
(long!... no, I mean it - *really* long!), see:
http://bugs.debian.org/509932

So it seems that there are projects that actually do it that way.

G'luck,
Peter
