[Boost-users] Installed library names

Hi, I'm working with a project whose build system passes -lboost_serialization as a flag to gcc. As far as I can tell from the configure options and from the Getting Started documentation, boost's installer only ever uses fully qualified names (libboost_serialization-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 on my system). Could the installer have possibly provided a libboost_serialization.so as well? Or did the authors of the project I'm trying to build probably manually create symlinks (or have their package manager create these) and assume that I would have the same? Thanks!
