Keep in mind that the installer has been /usr-merged. /lib will be a
symbolic link to usr/lib, so as long as you go via the filesystem, such
accesses should work and this is aspect no longer is a concern. I have
moved such files elsewhere, so if this really causes problems still, I'd
like to learn soon and handle it.
