Do we have a preference against wrapper scripts for munging
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (I think we should)?  

The reason I ask is that I've been looking at the Fedora DS situation
(now a package in extras), where every binary is wrapped in a shell
script to munge the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which just seems wrong to me. 

Likewise, where should a package place 'internal only' libraries, such
as libslapd for Fedora DS, and some similar libraries in an eventual
Samba4 package (to avoid bloat by static linking shared internal
functionality)?
