  | This is not a _good_ system but it's the system we have:

Surely we don't need that for the *debug* libs - this:

+#       This way,
+#       systems that still have the old shared libraries after an
+#       update, which applications might have been linked against,

isn't going to apply usually to anything linked against debug libs,
and if someone has such an application, they'd be much better to
relink it against the newer debug lib that has been installed, and
perhaps no longer need to debug if whatever issue caused the need
for that might have been fixed in the update.

obsoleting old debug libs (though not always done) has been the
practice for a long time now, without any complaints about problems
I have ever seen.
