[well, belief is a bloody nuisance that just irritates people like me. i
don't "believe" things, i either know them or i don't. i associate
knowledge with the context in which it was received or generated, and pass
it on or use it as appropriate, if i think that the context is
appropriate. e.g i don't talk to edenists about darwin!]
the author of libtool should not be so inflexible as to decide that his
way is best, period, and should put in a means to accomodate the debian
method as a libtool option, disabled by default.
we're so lucky to be in open source, because if the libtool author was a
proprietary developer, both us and the debian people would be screwed.

it does this.

it doesn't do this.
