Yes, I agree, this would be too hairy from a legal point of view. You can
explain to a lawyer which .so file requires which .so file (via "ldd" or
"readelf"), but it's too hard to explain that a .so file consists of
two parts, one part under LGPLv2+ and one part under LGPLv3+ and that
they should be considered as independent "works" although no tool exists
that can separate the two parts.
