Hm. I obviously wasn't clear about what I was thinking here. I was
expecting libdrm.so.2 → libdrm.so.2ltsq. That (should be) just a matter
of changing the version passed through to libtool, and shouldn't require
futzing with anything else - things linking with -ldrm will pick up the
right library.

...which might make this easier.

Since it seems you've already sorted out the libdrm_lts* problems its
probably not worth the effort to re-do this. Sorry about that!
