I've risen a discussion and people suggested lib64 being right -- 
ultimately I did it via LIBDIR variable that can be set in command line 
so if one is not happy, he car rebuild easily in own way.

do you use 'make deb' do build the debs? Or what is your way of building 
them?

Also, you can go ahead and commit the patch that exports the LIBDIR in 
rules, it is ok...
