Are you sure ? 
ldd `which blender.bin` give this:

       libpython2.2.so.0.0 => /usr/lib/libpython2.2.so.0.0 (0x40093000)

among other dipendencies
and i make a quick test in a script window doing :
import Blender
print dir(Blender)

it gives as we should expect (i think):
['BGL', 'Camera', 'Const', 'Draw', 'Get', 'Image', 'Ipo', 'Lamp',
'Material', 'NMesh', 'Object', 'Redraw', 'Scene', 'Set', 'Text',
'Types', 'Window', 'World', '__doc__', '__name__', 'bylink', 'link',
'sys']

Is this correct ?

blender.bin is ok for me, but perhaps blender is better :))

I see a  /usr/lib/libblender_intern.so , probabily libblender0
is better in my opinion

This is another wonderful idea :))
