Package: dpkg-cross
Version: 2.5.8
Severity: normal

Certain packages have libraries that exist in a subdirectory under /usr/lib.
dpkg-cross fails to detect these as valid libs to include.  A specific example
is libaxis2c0_1.6.0-1_amd64.deb.   I'm trying to repackage this for use on
an i686 machine.  This package supplies a set of shared
objects under /usr/lib/axis2/lib.  However, running dpkg-cross against this
package results in "package libaxis2c0 doesn't provide any useful files.
Skipping."

Perhaps dpkg-cross should either be able to find libraries in subdirectories
of /usr/lib, or the user could supply additional paths to look for libs?

Closing this bug in the absence of any information about whether the
files in question are related to a failure to cross build. It sounds a
lot more like a confusion with runtime requirements.

Libraries in sub-directories of [/usr]/lib are not relevant to package
builds and are not scanned for linkages, so are not useful for
dpkg-cross which is for build-time linkage - not runtime / plugins.
