Actually, I have just had a quick look at the policy and considered other
examples (libcurl tls/ssl flavours come to mind).

The policy says <soname><version> with an optional hyphen if the soname ends in
a number. We are proposing different flavours of the same soname library. So I
wonder if libpolkit-foo-1-0-elogind is better?
