Even if you specify it, it fails now with multiarch.  A Java program I use
(that's not packaged yet) dlopen()s /usr/lib/libnss3.so.  That one was
shipped in libnss3-1d until recently.  So the multiarch-ification leaded
to a FileNotFoundException band-aided by symlinking the above to
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss3.so.1d…
