- This should be done via a <tt>activate-noawait ldconfig</tt>

- to <tt>debian/&lt;package&gt;.triggers</tt>.
+ If the package is using debhelper, the <tt>dh_makeshlibs</tt> should
+ automatically discover this need and add the trigger itself.
+ Otherwise, please add <tt>activate-noawait ldconfig</tt> to the
+ the <tt>triggers</tt> file in the control member.
+ .
+ Note this tag may trigger for packages built with debhelper before
+ version 9.20151004.  In such case, a simple rebuild will often be
+ sufficient to fix this issue.
