I think I know what you mean, you expected the *.so.* files to be
literally part of "lzo-...". But this is in "liblzo2-...". That's also
not deviating from any standard, since only the *-devel parts have
become a de facto and de jur standard, while the libs of a package can
be called by the main name (what you expected), or foo-lib, or libfoo,
or foo-libs or libfoo<major>.

If anything is really a standard it would be the latter since it's the
standard in Mandrake/Debian and Fedora has yet to craft a standard for
that.

Anyway there is also no real demand for a standard, since rpm computes
run-time dependencies automatically and at build time you only need to
setup *-devel dependencies, that's why Fedora/Red Hat has so many
different "standards".

Bottom line: Pure run-time parts are not part of *-devel, and due to
rpm's auto-dependencies can be called rather arbitrary, and
development parts like *.so symlinks and headers are part of
*-devel. That's how far the standard goes today.
