Thank you for maintaining the Debian/Ubuntu packages.

If you don't want the "-shared" suffix (and still only provide 
shared libs, no static ones), then getting rid of it should be as 
easy as patching
1) 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/blob/v1.8.0/runtime/CMakeLists.txt#L116
2) 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/blob/v1.8.0/driver/main.cpp#L507

The only important thing is that `-link-defaultlib-shared` switch 
works (and that you error out for `-link-defaultlib-shared=false` 
if you don't ship with static libs).
