You wouldn't be installing something in /usr/local/lib that shadows the
SONAME of a library that is in the Debian archive (as it will be if a
binary from a Debian package is searching for it) unless the "funny
results" are what you want.
In any case the loader isn't that easy to fool. The cache is not the
first place searched.
