Review comments seem mostly sound, except this:
- shouldn't a devel subpackage exist? if not then the *.so links shouldn't be
packaged at all
The reason for the *.so symlinks is that these libraries are meant to be dlopen'ed at runtime by unixODBC, and people are not in the habit of including soname version numbers in the config files that specify what to use. So it is correct that there are *.so links in the base package. They are not meant for devel purposes.
