The policy is clear, IMO, ldconfig is needed if said package includes any
shared libraries (pkgs with *symlinks* to shared libs, like most -devel
ones, don't count).
I think there's an implicit assumption here that you are installing
shared libraries *meant to be picked up by the dynamic linker*. Some
packages ship dynamic libraries that are dlopened() directly by the
application (plugins), in that case calling ldconfig will not do
anything and so is not necessary.
