This is very useful for distributions, especially Debian, since it silences lint warnings about e.g. missing SONAMES and relaxes the (very strict) checks for this shared library on the distro side in general.
It also limits its use to the Discover project only, but that is it's intended usecase anyway, as internal library.
As a neat side effect, this change also removes any collisions of the library name with other projects (e.g. the existing "discover" project).

• It builds
• It installs
• It runs

I didn't encounter any issues.
