debian libproj dynamic load issue

[thehesiod]

we noticed that when ogr tries to dynamically load libproj it tries to load libproj.so instead of libproj.so.XX. This means that both the client needs to install libproj-dev and it may try to load the wrong version that doesn't work. If gdal is built against a particular libproj.so it should load the specific version and not the -dev version. Here's the callstack from python:

btw I'm not sure if I logged this against the correct component.
