That one had a ton of set-uid programs, so if those are absent ...

The linker either records the object "SONAME" if it is present; otherwise
it will just record the "libname.so"; it will not go to the trouble of
expanding links.

So the question is: what will the libraries SONAME be?

pkgconfig determines how to link with liblcms; any files put there will be 
found by programs which want to link with lcms.  I'd hardly consider that
private.
