Jeremy has a valid point.  Looking at the libraries in /usr/lib on my
Ubuntu system, libraries belonging to a package tend to include a
package name in the library, e.g.

libboost_system.so, libboot_regex.so
libavahi-client.so, libavahi-common.so
libicule.so, libicuio.so

I think we should do the same.  I'm not certain we should include "isc"
though, as it seems that the convention is to include the name of the
software, not the originator. (And in any case, BIND 10 has
contributions from multiple organisations.)  I suggest something like
libbind10-dnsacl.la or libb10-dnsacl.la.
