Problem with ldconfig detecting libraries installed by devel/gdcm

I want to create a port that uses devel/gdcm as a dependency. But writing:
LIB_DEPENDS+= gdcmCommon:${PORTSDIR}/devel/gdcm
doesn't work. It does build the port, but it fails to detect that the
port is installed.
I notice that when I type:
ldconfig -r | grep gdcm
that it doesn't find the installed libraries. But this can be fixed by
doing
ln -s libgdcmCommon.so.2.0.18 libgdcmCommon.so.2
Note that the devel/gdmc port only installs
libgdcmCommon.so.2.0.18 libgdcmCommon.so.2.0 libgdcmCommon.so
I contacted the port maintainer a few days ago, and this email is copied
to him. But I would also like to submit a PR that includes a fix so
that his job is easier.
But I am unsure what is the "officially correct" way to fix this? Is it
a bug in ldconfig? Or should the port create these links? Or were the
original writers of gdcm incorrect when the specify a major version
number that includes a period?
Thanks, Stephen
