I've did some research and have found the following.

Packaging of libmlt++ is incorrect.
File /usr/lib/libmlt++.so.2 is listed somewhere in the package contents, but it is not included in the package.
File /usr/lib/libmlt++.so is included only in the -dev package (libmlt++-dev).

Here is the output of several comands on my system - Karmik with all updates

$ aptitude show libmlt++2
Package: libmlt++2
State: installed

However, my system doesn't contain a file /usr/lib/libmlt++.so.2

$ locate libmlt++.so.2
$

$ dpkg -L libmlt++2
/.

$ apt-file search /usr/lib/libmlt++.so.2
libmlt++2: /usr/lib/libmlt++.so.2

I think, libmlt++ should be repackaged to include libmlt++.so, and libmlt++.so.2. Probably, these should be symbolic links to the actual .so file (libmlt++.so.0.4.10).
