I hadn't been thinking about multiarch because libmemusage.so was a private non-versioned library, but that *is* still an issue regardless. That said, the actual memusage.sh script appears to hardcode the shared-library directory at compile time, and the patch here doesn't change that.

Would you > consider moving libmemusage.so to that same separate package? This is not something doable, we can't mix binaries and libraries in the same packages. Libraries have to be in a Multi-Arch: same package, while binaries have to be in a Multi-Arch: foreign package.

I do think it makes sense to have these in a separate package. Would you consider moving libmemusage.so to that same separate package? - Josh Triplett
