Erm, libraries are searched for in /usr/lib anyway. You need to set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH only in the postinsts of programs that need libraries from
paths that aren't searched by default, and only for the scope of the
postinst, since you're calling ldconfig at the end of the dpkg run anyway.
Or even better, drop ldconfig and use -rpath for all binaries that need
libraries outside the regular search path.
