I told upstream about our .so rule saying .so files should be in
-devel, but he said this is not the case for python packages, and
promptly demonstrated that the libxml2-python package is similar and
that this package puts the .so files in the main pacakge on Fedora as
well.
Only .so SYMLINKS should be in the -devel package, the symlinks that are made
to the actual libraries that would be in the main package. Python modules
often have unversioned shared object files (.so) that are part of the module.
They are not development symlinks and they SHOULD be packaged in the main
package.
