where should we put private libraries
Hello, I am working on the dials[1] package. This scientific software
produce a bunch of python extension via boost python, but also a bunch
of libraries, which are the common part of the python extension.
when I package it, I moved the common library under the /usr/lib/<arch>/
directory. This way the extension can find them without problem. but
then I have a lintian error about

47 E: dials: sharedobject-in-library-directory-missing-soname usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxfel_mono_sim.so
so my question is how can I solve this error.
I thought about adding rpath to these libraries in order to move then
under a private location /usr/lib/<package>. But for this I need to add
an rpath to all the extensions which use these libraries.
The issue is that the current build system do not provide rpath for
these libraries so I can not add one via chrpath.
In your opinion, what is the best way to solve this ?
thanks for your help
