Bug#846012: Implementation alternatives

While I don't think this blocks on the "how to do" but more than that
on the decision to actually do so, I still wanted to list two ways to
solve this which we discussed over the last few days.

#1 Interim solution just making selected libs also available at
generally consumable places (via symlinks):
https://code.launchpad.net/~paelzer/ubuntu/+source/nss/+git/nss/+ref/merge-bionic-freebl3bug-try1

#2 Would keep the file locations, but make all of the libs usable via
ld.conf and pkg-config
https://code.launchpad.net/~paelzer/ubuntu/+source/nss/+git/nss/+ref/merge-bionic-freebl3bug-try2

BTW - thanks Vincent to dup mine onto this older bug, I missed it when
opening mine.

And finally - our motivation is also to move away from libtomcrypt (as Vincent).
Essentially for the same reasons being mostly lack of updates and a
better security maintenance.
