I have just fixed this in the packaging repository, but the upload will 
have to wait for the fix in pkgconfig content.

Right, these are incorrect, prefix should be set to /usr, bindir should 
be free of arch-specific suffix and libdir should include correct arch 
triplet. Not sure how to fix these properly, though. Maybe this could be 
done at initial configuration step, but I know the build system too 
little to say know. Will give a look a couple days later.

Thanks,
