IMHO a loadable module that is used by a program with dl*() has nothing
to do with the dynamic linker, so /usr/lib/package seems the place, but
this one (a LD_PRELOAD lib) _is_ to be dynamically linked with binaries
by ld.so, so it seems /usr/lib is the place.
Furthermore, if it is not there, you won't be able to make it link
against setuid binaries at all (see ld.so(8)), which can be annoying.
