I agree, that sounds generally easier.  You cannot really tell when a .so
has been dlopen-d.  You can ask (I believe) to be notified for mmap/munmap
events, and maybe you can tell that they are of .so files.  But it's still
ugly: suppose a program mmaps a .so file for some other purpose -- eg to 
compute an md5sum of it.

In short it's better not to put ELF-specific hacks in drd if you can avoid
it - instead, think in terms of using/extending the interface provided by
m_debuginfo.  For one thing, not all current/potential future targets use
ELF.
