There is also

/opt/qt/lib
/opt/kde/lib

Anyone wants to open a bug-report? What do you think is the best migration?

There's no need to hurry. We should either have one bug or one per
package. I'd say one per package when you find one.

The problem will be if we want to notice the user that they can remove
the path from the old ld.so.conf file or if we leave them in the dark
because it just doesn't matters.

It would be nicer if you did the change automatically from
post_install/post_upgrade. Detecting the presence of the include is
simple done with grep, and adding it is a simple echo. Other packages
touch this file directly and will get changed to dropping an
ld.so.conf.d file in the future, those packages will stop working if
this ld.so.conf change isn't done.
The filesystem package touches the group and passwd files in the same
way, so there's no excuse not to do this change automatically.

Please migrate the change from the ld.so.conf.pacnew file you will
receive.

For the future we should clean up packages that touched ld.so.conf
directly. On my system these paths were added:

/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib/libfakeroot
/opt/lib32/lib
/opt/lib32/usr/lib

Please signoff.

So... what are we doing for this? I have a couple of packages I want
to update to this new include directory but will hold off until this
leaves [testing].
