The /usr/local paths doesn't happen to me it is probably a
dh_auto_configure issue with your package builder:

prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${prefix}/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
includedir=${prefix}/include

And yes, libags-1.0.pc should rather be libgsequencer-0.7.pc

I fix this upstream so I'll provide a new package gsequencer-0.7.58.tar.gz
