Fixed with NMU to just enforce that the arch-specific libdirs are symlinks to /usr/lib* instead of exactly the same dirname under /usr, as this is not the right place to care about that detail, the only important thing in this context is the target being under /usr. Unless any new issue pops up, I'll upload i-s-h to unstable to start the transition tomorrow evening. -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
