Wrong prefix in KPeople libraries

I've just been pointed out by kubuntu packagers that we're missing the
KF5 prefix (i.e. the library is called libKPeople.so instead of
libKF5People.so). This patch [1] addresses that but it's obviously a
BIC.

I see these options:

We also install symbolic links so that things compiled to the old
library name still work.
We ship a new tarball with the fix and overlook the BIC problem.
We overlook the problem completely and leave it as is.

Or maybe there's another solution I'm not aware of.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
