For your own sanity, use /usr/local/lib (with or without subdirectory that's
other question) and /usr/local/bin and /usr/lib and /usr/bin only for files
installed from proper Debian packages. You won't regret.

that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you.
Therefore, if you can't get them together again, there must be a
