IIRC (and it is a rather dim recollection) I think these links are made when 
you run ldconfig, according to what the library says about itself.

objdump -x /usr/lib/libieee1284.so.3.2.0
...
  SONAME      libieee1284.so.3
...

I believe ldconfig creates the symlinks for all version levels between the 
fully qualified version name .3.2.0 and the SONAME of .3.
