My personal opinion is that this upstream problem is not worth a big
amount of a developer's time, unless they have a particular interest in
the package.
I'd suggest a snippet like this in debian/rules (fictitious, haven't
read amsn's rules file):
install:
make install DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/amsn
-mkdir -p $(CURDIR)/debian/amsn/usr/lib
mv $(CURDIR)/debian/amsn/usr/share/amsn $(CURDIR)/debian/amsn/usr/lib
ln -s $(CURDIR)/debian/amsn/usr/lib $(CURDIR)/debian/amsn/usr/share/amsn
(It probably won't work as-is, but you get the idea. It's playing with
the FHS, yes, but as said, IMHO only people with particular interest on
the package, and not in RC bugs, should do more. ;-)
Cheers,
