Hi Shawn,

you can find an answer (and many alternatives) in the following wiki page:

I didn't manage to use the install file for this. Globbing is too 
restrictive an there are various subdirs in /usr/lib. I update the rules 
file as below:


---8<---
export DEB_TARGET_GNU_CPU = $(shell dpkg-architecture 
-qDEB_TARGET_GNU_CPU)
export DEB_TARGET_GNU_SYSTEM = $(shell dpkg-architecture 
-qDEB_TARGET_GNU_SYSTEM)


override_dh_install:
dh_install
	dh_install -p  
/usr/lib/$(DEB_TARGET_GNU_CPU)-$(DEB_TARGET_GNU_SYSTEM)/

---8<---

The source_file should not be in the .install file. dh_install will 
install all others files using (among others) the install files content.
Then this very file will be installed using the tuples given by 
dpkg-architecture.

.install uses shell wildcards, not regexes, so /usr/lib/*/subdirectory

The standard name on amd64 is actually x86_64-linux-gnu 
(https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Tuples).
