Ubuntu 24 ships mapserver 8. My mapserver 7 package's binaries should still be called "mapserv" etc, not "mapserv7". So I want the binaries of my deb package to live in /usr/mapserver7, such that "mapserv" exists as /usr/mapserver7/bin/mapserv.
That's a very unusual prefix. I suggest to use /usr/local as that it's the library search path by default. You need to replace the /usr prefix in d/rules (-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr & -DINSTALL_LIB_DIR="/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)") and all debian/*.install files. You also need to rename the packages to make them co-installable, but if you don't need to have both installed, don't bother changing the prefix and just make an unofficial backport of the mapserver 7 package for your distro.
