Citing from Debian policy (FHS): "/usr/lib includes object files, libraries, and internal binaries that are not intended to be executed directly by users or shell scripts." and "Some executable commands such as makewhatis and sendmail have also been traditionally placed in /usr/lib. makewhatis is an internal binary and should be placed in a binary directory; users access only catman. Newer sendmail binaries are now placed by default in /usr/sbin; a symbolic link should remain from /usr/lib. Additionally, systems using a sendmail-compatible mail transport agent should provide /usr/sbin/sendmail as a symbolic link to the appropriate executable." So it would be nice if you can provide a symbolic link from the binary executable to the library file.
