modules have a soname?

I'm tracking down why I get warnings from dpkg-shlibdeps on a package
that builds dlopen modules with libtool.  For reference, a build log is
available here:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=jabberd2&arch=amd64&ver=2.3.4-1%2Bb1&stamp=1446749350

According to dpkg-shlibdeps dlopen modules should not have a soname:

   "A private library (like a plugin) should not have a SONAME and
   doesn't need to be versioned."

See http://linux.die.net/man/1/dpkg-shlibdeps for more text.

However when I build the package manually I can see that libtool does
add a soname to the module:

jas@latte:~/src/jabberd2/sm$ /bin/bash ../libtool  --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc  -g -O2 -funsigned-char -module -export-dynamic  -o mod_amp.la -rpath /usr/local/lib/jabberd mod_amp.lo ../subst/libsubst.la -lssl -lcrypto -lgsasl -ludns -lidn -lexpat -lresolv -lcrypt  -ldl -lz
libtool: link: rm -fr  .libs/mod_amp.la .libs/mod_amp.lai .libs/mod_amp.so .libs/mod_amp.so.0 .libs/mod_amp.so.0.0.0
libtool: link: gcc -shared  -fPIC -DPIC  .libs/mod_amp.o  -Wl,--whole-archive ../subst/.libs/libsubst.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive  -lssl -lcrypto /usr/lib/libgsasl.so -ludns -lidn /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexpat.so -lresolv -lcrypt -ldl -lz  -O2   -Wl,-soname -Wl,mod_amp.so.0 -o .libs/mod_amp.so.0.0.0
libtool: link: (cd ".libs" && rm -f "mod_amp.so.0" && ln -s "mod_amp.so.0.0.0" "mod_amp.so.0")
libtool: link: (cd ".libs" && rm -f "mod_amp.so" && ln -s "mod_amp.so.0.0.0" "mod_amp.so")
libtool: link: ( cd ".libs" && rm -f "mod_amp.la" && ln -s "../mod_amp.la" "mod_amp.la" )
jas@latte:~/src/jabberd2/sm$

What is correct here?  Is libtool is doing the right thing in adding the
soname?
