Generally the .so for a normal library, non-plugin, is only required for
development. In this case, it's a plugin, so it'll be dlopen'd, so I expect
you could just opt-out of the QA check in this case.

IIRC there was a bug in the package qa bits which caused later messages to
suppress earlier due to teh use of a dictionary for the messages (the wrong
structure for this, no idea why it was done that way). There have been one
or more patches on teh list for this recently.
