they are added by the cdbs scripts, specifically debhelper.mk
This in turn calls dh_makeshlibs which if there's a .so in the package
assumes it is a shared object added to the system and ld.conf database needs
updating, so
it adds a ldconfig call to the postrm and postints script. This can be seen
only in the binary .deb file.
In xfmedia's case there's a plugin called xfmedia-infopipe.so but it is not
for general consumption
so it should not trigger a ldconfig.
To prevent dh_makeshlibs from adding a .so it should be called with the -X
pattern argument.
This patch makes CDBS call dh_makeshlibs that way.
