These should be installed to /usr/share instead. You might need to
patch the source to install them in the right place. See here for why:

Unless the application needs it, there is no reason to install this file.

I imagine these are not meant to be public libraries. If they are
supposed to be private, please work with upstream to make them private
libraries (install in a subdir of /usr/lib). If they are meant to be
public libraries, you need to read libpkg-guide and the bugs filed
against it.
