The shared library (libindicator-kdeconnect.so) is mispackaged in a way that breaks the Debian policy and best practices, but more importantly, fails to update the dynamic library loader's cache when installed.

Best practice would be to package the shared library in a separate package and to include the library version in the filename of the .so file. If packaged according to convention, I believe dh_makeshlibs would take care of the dynamic library loader's cache automatically.

This is related to three Lintian warnings/errors:

W: indicator-kdeconnect: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libindicator-kdeconnect
W: indicator-kdeconnect: shlib-without-versioned-soname usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libindicator-kdeconnect.so libindicator-kdeconnect.so
E: indicator-kdeconnect: package-must-activate-ldconfig-trigger usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libindicator-kdeconnect.so

I completely understand. These aren't critical issues either, I just figured I ought to report it somewhere when I noticed. I'll send PRs if I find the time to fix them myself.
