Hi!

Some pointers would be appreciated, maybe on wiki.debian.org. While
fixing it on HAProxy can be done just in debian/rules, I cannot do the
same thing for labrea. I need to patch configure and this is something
that I don't like to do.

The pattern `-L${prefix}/lib` seems to happen often. Are we going to
patch all upstream sources for this problem while this worked for years
without any problem? The `-L${prefix}/lib` is convenient because it
allows a user to install the lib in its home.

Does the bug really happens for real? Doesn't system paths used before
user-specified paths?
