Ultimately it depends on how those files have ended up there. If files have been 
installed in in /usr/lib because they've been installed in ${libdir} (this is 
the default for all autotooled recipes), then you should also use ${libdir} to 
match in FILES in case that value changes - some distros do this to flatten out 
/usr altogether for example.

Cheers,
Paul
