Because LibTorrent is _not_ part of the rtorrent upstream tarball.
They're shipped individually for practical purposes (if someone wants,
in some moment, to only use the library and not the client). Besides,
there are normally more (a lot more) uploads of libtorrent than
rtorrent, most of the changes are made in the library (talking about
patches made to upstream and stuff).
Installing LibTorrent in /usr/lib is as useful as installing it in
rtorrent, only that making the last one would imply actually changing
the actual scheme. Don't know what for, _really_. There's another reason
that just "Cause rtorrent is the only one using it right now"? (Which,
BTW, is not true [1][2][3][4][5] are other examples of software using
LibTorrent-Rakshasa)
