innupgrade for old shared libraries?

[Julien ÉLIE]

Hi all,

Shared libraries installed by previous INN versions tend to accumulate 
in the pathlib directory.
Shouldn't we remove old ones?  (keeping only the previous one for instance)

Or should we expect other programs installed on the system, outside INN, 
to go on using old versions of our libraries and therefore we should 
leave them?
