 You need to leave around, for each shared library, for each major
 present the lib with the highest minor.
 
 Old static libs can just go away, IMHO.
 
 You are only talking about updates via sysinst from official (i.e. well
 tested) distribution media, I suppose? You certainly do not want to do
 this kind of cleanup on -current when updating from source.
