lintian's wrong; Patricia.pm is a thin wrapper around Patricia.so (from
XS), which *is* architecture-dependent. Brendan O'Dea explained this
some time ago on this list, but the lintian maintainer has refused to
change it even though having files in /usr/lib rather than /usr/share is
safe while having files in /usr/share rather than /usr/lib can break
things.
