It does.  On Fedora and on Ubuntu, the slib package comes pre-configured
with a working slibcat file that gets created as part of the package
installation.  I'm not sure if it's created when the package is built or
when the package is installed, but the end result is the same, a working
slibcat when you install the slib package.
