Sebastian,
I'm fairly certian Robin Gareus made it quite clear what Jeremy was
saying in his reply:

This does divert from the standard location in which shared libraries
are expected to be located, but LV2 plugins, as you are aware, are not
normal shared libraries. If they cannot be found in /usr/lib/lv2, then
it literally breaks the functionality of several DAWs out there,
including Ardour (which we ship). Sure, users can always manually add
the search path of /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/lv2 to the software,
but that's an unnecessary inconvenience.
I checked the salsa repo for liblilv (and another) and it seems as
though /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/lv2 is being intentionally set as
the install location here, so this simply needs to be reverted. I can
even set-up the pull request.
Beyond that, I will be fairly unhappy if I have to downstream patch this.
Cheers,
Erich

Package: liblilv-0-0

Severity: important
Package does not follow FHS, it adds /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) to the
--default-lv2-path waf configure option, see rules file, line 21. The addition
of this line indicates that something fundamental has changed, namely the
default path where Debian installs its LV2 plugins. These go into
/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) too now which breaks setups running software
that uses the FHS as a starting point for LV2 plugin discovery. The LV2 plugin
packages that Debian now installs are now not discovered anymore.
I think you are mistaken. It you compare the the default path in
meson.build and the one specified in debian/rules, it extends the
default path with /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/lv2 (note the lv2).
Please describe the actual problem that you are seeing.
Cheers
