Hello

On Debian systems (and probably most Linux systems), /usr/share should contain 
only architectures independent files (see also linux file system hierarchy 
standard [1]). Libraries should be installed in /usr/lib [2].

To respect FHS, moar and rakudo shared (and private) libraries should be 
installed in /usr/lib/moar.

Currently, I've patched [3] Debian versions of moar and rakudo to satisfy that 
requirement, but that's not practical in the long term (i.e. patches for rakudo 
are broken too often :-( ).

This issues is tracked on Moar side by [4].

All the best
