Sebastian,I'm fairly certian Robin Gareus made it quite clear what Jeremy was saying in his reply:

If they cannot be found in /usr/lib/lv2, then it literally breaks the functionality of several DAWs out there, including Ardour (which we ship). Sure, users can always manually add the search path of /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/lv2 to the software, but that's an unnecessary inconvenience.
I checked the salsa repo for liblilv (and another) and it seems as though /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/lv2 is being intentionally set as the install location here, so this simply needs to be reverted. I can even set-up the pull request.
Beyond that, I will be fairly unhappy if I have to downstream patch this. Cheers, Erich -- Erich Eickmeyer Project Leader - Ubuntu Studio Technical Lead - Edubuntu On 10/29/23 05:10, Sebastian Ramacher wrote:

The addition of this line indicates that something fundamental has changed, namely the default path where Debian installs its LV2 plugins. These go into /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) too now which breaks setups running software that uses the FHS as a starting point for LV2 plugin discovery. The LV2 plugin packages that Debian now installs are now not discovered anymore.I think you are mistaken. It you compare the the default path in meson.build and the one specified in debian/rules, it extends the default path with /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/lv2 (note the lv2). Please describe the actual problem that you are seeing. Cheers
