I cannot explain that in a precise way, I'm sorry, but I think it's  
related to installing libzim in a non-shared/private libdir. ldconfig  
gets launched by debhelper but the library is not in  
/usr/lib/[<arch>/], so it will not get found.

Instead, the /usr/bin/kiwix wrapper script set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make  
libzip accessible for the application. (Another option would be  
setting RPATH in the kiwix-* binaries).

Is it possible to tell debhelper not to run ldconfig (which is added  
to postinst automagically via #DEBHELPER# entry)?
