Only in the -dev package, which should not be required for running Guile
programs that excercise the FFI. It is also good practice to use the
entire SONAME of the library in the Guile program, as to avoid random
breakage when the ABI changes (which does imply a SONAME bump on
sanely-maintained libraries).
