Redundant, remove this

Wrong, includedir goes into PN-dev.  This is the default, so remove this.

Does DLT wrapper use autotools or cmake? It can't use both.  Does it need
to inherit gettext?

Presumably you're doing this because the autotools or cmake files in your
tarball doesn't have an install target?

Anyway, that's the problem.  You're installing an unversioned .so file
which will be put into PN-dev by default.  Unversioned libraries are
frowned upon but if you can't change it then the wiki has a guide:
