The cache is just a cache, but ldconfig has other functionality besides
generating the cache.  It also creates the various symlinks to the .so*
files.

It was, and packages will now fail to build (via brp-ldconfig) if they
don't package those symlinks.  Though in practice packages which did not
do this would have been exceedingly rare anyway and when I checked the
package set looking for examples a year ago I think I only turned up two
examples.
