4.7. /usr/lib : Libraries for programming and packages

4.7.1. Purpose

/usr/lib includes object files, libraries, and internal binaries that
are not intended to be executed directly by users or shell scripts. [2]

Applications may use a single subdirectory under /usr/lib. If an
application uses a subdirectory, all architecture-dependent data
exclusively used by the application must be placed within that
subdirectory. [3]

[2]. Miscellaneous architecture-independent application-specific static
files and subdirectories must be placed in /usr/share.

[3]. For example, the perl5 subdirectory for Perl 5 modules and libraries.

Looks like /usr/lib/packagename is recommended.
