Gentlemen, yes, let's keep the focus on the review.  I agree with most of the
issues Michael raised.   However, I also think Conrad is doing his best and may
have misinterpreted Michael's initial terseness as rudeness, although it wasn't
intended that way.   These issues aren't as well documented on the wiki and in
the packaging guidelines as they could be, so I can understand the confusion. 
(I'm still learning about some of the more subtle issues with dynamic linking
myself).

In any case, as I am still the reviewer, here are the things I think still need
fixing:

1. fix the SONAME issues.  Perhaps check with Debian's package of eclib to see
how they are doing it, so we can be consistent.  One of the problems is that
upstream doesn't maintain a stable API/ABI.

2. move the libraries to the standard location (I believe this was fixed in the
last version)

3. implement "make check".  disable the tests that fail for the moment and
report them to upstream so they can be fixed in a later release (hopefully they
will tell us which one's are expected to work and not work).
