I was previously unsure whether %pre/%post ldconfig lines on shared

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.
The open question here would be: Should dlopen'ed plugins in $libdir be
allowed?
Do you mean in %libdir itself, or anywhere under %libdir ?
I think he means in %libdir itself, thats how I read it when I posted I
agreed :)
In a subdir under libdir is not only fine, thats actually mandatory by
the FHS.
