[lug] library naming conventions, sym links

I've always thought that libraries (dynamic) would be named in the
format of:
libSomeLib.so.0.0.0
...then a sym link created for
libSomeLib.so.0.0 -> libSomeLib.so.0.0.0
libSomeLib.so.0 -> libSomeLib.0.0
libSomeLib.so -> libSomeLib.0
However, it seems that rpm is telling me this is wrong. Rpm seems to
want to do this, where libSomeLib.so.0.0.0 is the hard link:
libSomeLib.so -> libSomeLib.so.0.0.0
libSomeLib.so.0 -> libSomeLib.so.0.0.0
libSomeLib.so.0.0 -> libSomeLib.so.0.0.0
Is this a correct standard, with the top scenario being wrong? It seems
like rpm is breaking things (or at least looking for a way to cause
version breakage) by using the latter version of sym link.
