build system has preset rules for shared libraries that follow the versioning scheme, in that scheme foo.so is a symlink to real shared object which is something like foo.x.y.z or something like that. then packager goes in and bundles the .so into -dev ipk and real shared object into proper ipk and all works. So is this library using versioning ? if not you have to jump through some hoops to let system know about that so it stats treating .so as final shared object and not as symlink.

you need to specify filenames or wildchars something like  ${WORKDIR}/package/usr/bin/mybinary or something like that look at manpage of install utility for more insights
