It's what the linker looks at when you link against that library with -l<foo>. So it's classified as a development file. The only other use of lib<foo>.so would be if it's a dynamically loaded module or plugin, loaded with dlopen() or similar code. (However, in that case, it's probably better to specify a particular ABI version, so programs don't get a version that's different from the API/ABI they compiled against.) If libdspam.so isn't a plugin used by other programs, just remove libdspam.so from your file list.
