In general, when installing libraries, the goal is to be able to use
them (in particular by programs compiled by the user). So, the right
place is /usr/local/lib if they are for all users of the machine, and
$HOME/lib for the user who installed them.
Now, if Debian packages are not meant to use external libraries (i.e.
that do not come from Debian), one may wonder if these Debian packages
should use a run path.
