Yes. I often opt for moving all components to the multiarch libdir. However in the case of cln, the comment in debian/rules line 70 made me not go that route: # This installs into libdir, but we must not set libdir because it affects the .la file: Maybe I didn't properly understand the comment, but it seemed as if we shouldn't pass --libdir. If that actually works, it should be preferred. It might even allow marking some packages Multi-Arch: same. This bug is only concerned with the location of the .pc file though. It can be solved by only moving it or by moving all files. Whatever suits you best. I chose the minimally invasive route, because I feared introducing a regression, but as you figured it adds complexity on its own. Helmut
