Well, these are the sonames, which need not be related to the program version.
A package with a given version may ship arbitrary libraries with arbitrary
sonames. For instance, gmp-6.1 and gmp-6.0 ship libgmp.so.10 and
libgmpxx.so.4.
Nevertheless, we still call all variables gmp and gmp-6.0, respectively.
So here we should also use libwnck-2. Notice that the variable name is
something that humans edit, whereas we need not care about sonames that
are handled by some magic.
