If we were to add, via the spec file, libfreebl.so.3 as an alias to libfreebl3.so (and similarly with libnssdmb3.so and linsoftoken3.so), would that help?

I'm not sure it would really *help*, as it might cause confusion as some app
would think that's the actual soname. I'm mainly curious as to the history
of how the libraries ended up that way.
