Ah, it's 98fa157c758d ('bidi.patch: Look for libfribidi in multi-arch
directory.'). In fribidi's udeb libfribidi.so.0 is in /lib, not
/usr/lib/$MACH, is there really a reason for doing so? I'd say we
should move it there, i.e. the attached patch? (which I could check
as fixing the issue in the textual installer, without breaking the
graphical installer). And we can probably backport it to Stretch.
