Correct, this is trying to address the existing cases that have both 
binaries and libraries, I guess the other way to do this would be for 
those 5 or so packages to use "lib_packaging" and which renames the 
binary packages ${PN}-bin and the libraries then get auto renamed via 
debian renaming rules.

This is kind of the inverse of lib_packaging.bbclass, binaries go in 
${PN} and libraries need to be placed into the named lib${PN}.

As for headers and debug, they go in the ${PN}-[dev,dbg] packagse

I can go with Koen's name of shlibpackaging.bbclass
