No, the symlink from -rdmav2.so needs to go to a real file not another
symlink.

libmlx5.so is the 'devel' symlink, it is only used by the compiler
during linking which is why it must be placed in the -dev package.

libmlx5-rdmav2.so should be ../libmlx5.so.1.0.13

Then you get libmlx5.so -> libmlx5.so.1.0.13 and the man pages and
header files. libibverbs-dev will need to depend on the
ibverbs-provider package also.

This is all also true for RPM systems.
