I had an issue packaging simple-netaid. The target of the shared library
"libnetaid.so" was being obj-x86-64-linux-gnu, and trying to use the
variable $(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)
in "libnetaid.install", this variable was not replaced by its value:
`x86-64-linux-gnu`. I've just found the following solution for that
doing the "libnetaid.install" executable:

#! /usr/bin/dh-exec

obj-*-linux-gnu/backend_src/libnetaid.so usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}

Cheers,

  Aitor.
