I cargo-culted this into the libva spec, at one point, from Gwenole Beauchesne's Debian spec: echo ".text"|gcc -xassembler - -o debian/tmp/usr/lib/libva.so.0.29.0 -shared -Wl,-soname,libva.so.0 -Ldebian/tmp/usr/lib -lva-x11 No idea how it actually works, but I believe it effectively does what you'd be trying to do if you did 'ln -s libva.so.0.29.0 libva.so.0' . so maybe something like it could be used in this case.
