That would normally go somewhere like:
/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/solfegemodule.so
which is where the standard Makefile.pre.in will put it. You should
have a look at /usr/share/doc/python/README.maintainers, and maybe a
simple Python package like python-newt.

This only applies to libraries that other packages migh want to link
against. For example, the "newt" source package builds the whiptail
binary package containing just the program, and also the libnewt0 and
libnewt-dev packages, for other packages such as python-newt to use.
