To be clear, the “.so” files shipped in -dev packages are just
symlinks. The real “.so.X.Y” are shipped in the corresponding library
package, as makes sense.

What do you mean, “adds the exception for Guile”? The guile-2.0-dev
package contains the same /symlink/ as other -dev packages do. The real
.so is in guile-2.0-libs. I do not see how that is different to any
other library/dev package pair.
