Does the system you're building on have a /usr->. symlink?  The lack of
/usr in the above paths seems to indicate that.  In that case, building
Debian packages is not supported, as (except for libc0.3 which indeed
belongs to /lib, not /usr/lib) dpkg expects the libraries in /usr/lib,
but finds them in /lib.
