Interesting technique, I can see how it has advantages.

That makes sense.

That doesn't sound like the ideal world, don't you think?

No, it's not ideal to have the Debian package have different source
code to handle the Debian-specific directory for the reason you
mention. However, CLSQL 3.2.0 in Debian does have a local patch to
accomodate /usr/lib/clsql/ path. But, it is not perfect, as you say.
