There is no need to install libraries only used by the software
to system-wide library directory. Such files should be installed under
its software specific directory (usually %_libdir/%name) to avoid
name space pollution as much as possible.

If upstream intends to make the library also used by other applications
(with providing header files for API, for example),
such file must be installed to system wide library directory. Otherwise
it is better to hide files into software specific directories if possible.
