I don't think there was an intent to specify ldconfig itself. Instead, there should be a way for the system to run a tool if it needs to after a package has been installed. Alternatively, we can describe somewhere - I don't know if this goes in the spec document (certainly not normative text if it does) what this comment said? We must provide some guidance to developers, and it's okay to my mind for that guidance to be that you will always be outside the "ld.so can find it" space for add-on (lsb) software. But lack of guidance is too confusing.
