That is the general case, not using pakcges, as FHS seem to be written that 
way. Here we're talking about Debian packages and on debian native libs go to 
/usr/lib.
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s9.1

But this is not causing the problems i have with building the packages!

The provided debs do work ok.


The problem is with the provided pkg/debian/kamailio/*/rules files. The rules 
file does not export the LIBDIR variable to the Makefile resulting in 
different values within the rules file and within the Makefile breaking the 
dups deletion. The rules file sets LIBDIR to /usr/lib while the Makefile has 
installed the libs to /usr/lib64.


So, the main issue is that LIBDIR needs to be exported from the rules file to 
the Makefile to guarantee both the rules file and the Makefile have the same 
notion of where the libs are going. At least in my build environment, the 
Makefile puts the libs in /usr/lib64 while the dups deletion works on /usr/lib 
resulting in packages with overlapping files.

Additionally, IMHO, for Debian, LIBDIR=/usr/lib should be exported so the 
packages have the modules in /usr/lib as does the rest of Debian.
