Trouble is, when you do a 10 bit build you end up with a library of the
same name and installing to the same location as the 8 bit one.

I'm no expert on the debian packaging, but I could not see a way of
renaming the 10 bit .so (dh_install won't do it). There might well be a neat
way of achieving this.

You have to re-run the configure script with different options to create
the 10 bit version, and that's well beyond what I know how to do in the
rules file.
