Hi,

Upstream libtool says that having a libdir point to /lib while
the rest of the files are in /usr/lib is not supported.

The current situation is:
lib package:
/lib/libsysfs.so.1.0.3
/lib/libsysfs.so.1

-dev package
/usr/lib/libsysfs.a
/usr/lib/libsysfs.la
/lib/libsysfs.so

The .la file has a libdir set as:
libdir='/lib'

You seem to have an open bug (346582) that you should move the
symlink to /usr/lib, which is consitent with what other packages
do.  So in that case the -dev package would look like:
/usr/lib/libsysfs.a
/usr/lib/libsysfs.la
/usr/lib/libsysfs.so

In any case is having libdir point to /lib is wrong.  I have no
idea what the effect is going to be if you point it to /usr/lib
instead.

I think that Ralf's suggestion about not having .la file in the
-dev package actually makes most sense.
