According to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=667573#29,
setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH would do just fine. According to the buglog, I
proposed the idea of shipping a shell wrapper that sets that for you,
but it seems I never got around doing is.

I have attached the shell wrapper that I had to this email. it seems
to even work as expected:

./x264-10bit ldd /usr/bin/x264 | grep libx264.so
libx264.so.142 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/x264-10bit/libx264.so.142
(0x00007fd32d4e7000)

Julien, Fabian, do you think this would be helpful to have in the x264
package under /usr/bin?
