Debian use /usr/share/compass as _shared_ location for Compass libraries 
- upstream has no such default location.

Your reasoning is the equivalent of installing C libraries in /usr/lip 
and arguing that one should always explicitly feed the compiler the path 
(not rely on default path being /usr/lib on Debian systems).
