LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib

???

If you're not familiar with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, see ld.so(8). Also, one
can pass environment variables into the command on the same command
line, such as:

  DISPLAY= emacs

and one doesn't need to do the "export DISPLAY" beforehand:

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

*but* as to that solving your particular dilemma, I'm not sure.
