Why didn't you let the system to name the package using the soname by itself and avoid putting the soname on the glob matching?

Before the generation of libgmpxx library, there was only one library, libgmp, and it was getting packaged into libgmp10 package. After addition of the libgmpxx library the package name changed to the recipe name (gmp), in order to preserve the previous package name(for distro upgrades), and to let people avoid installation of libgmpxx if they don't need it in order to save the space on target, two packages are generated for each library with this scheme.
