I'll push something workable tomorrow.

I've hit a snag with the hwcaps builds. The build is fine, but the
dh_install patterns for installing everything except the .so don't work
with the directory layout I devised. There's a workaround but my gut
says there is a cleaner solution.

This is not an issue with llama.cpp as, in contrast to whisper.cpp, its
main library isn't stable yet, so there is no -dev package yet to which
a .so would be split out.

There is also the issue that the ggml library built should not be
public, as it does not appear stable yet. This requires some minor
RUNPATH trickery, but I don't think this will be a big issue.

Best,
Christian
