Yeah, the libtool mapping, as you cited above, causes Linux major number to 
jump (by more than one) if the libtool age was non-zero. In this case, 
libvlccore had age 1 since VLC version 2.0.6.

Still, I would rather follow the libtool conventions than perform a reverse 
abstraction with only the Linux port in mind.
