[opensuse-packaging] location of devel symlinks for libraries

Hi,

A library required during system boot lives in /lib. Therefore one runs
configure --lib=/%_lib which means all files get installed into
/%_lib including the devel symlink *.so that point to the SONAME.
Some packages manually move that symlink to /usr. Does that have any
technical or cosmetic advantage?

Ludwig
