[UBUNTU] 19.04 - Packaging problem with smc-tools 1.2.0

[bugproxy]

[Impact]

 * Shared library shipped in the unused ldpath, instead of a normal multiarch location.

[Test Case]

 * $ sudo smc_run ls

Bad output:
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libsmc-preload.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

[Regression Potential]

 * This is a regression from cosmic, which was fixed in eoan. Only packaging is changed to move the library into /usr/lib/{multiarch} location.

[Other Info]

 * Original bug report

The shared library libsmc-preload.so (shipped with smc-tools) is installed in the wrong place:

root@m3545040:~# smc_run ls
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libsmc-preload.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

It is currently packaged to install to /usr/lib64/libsmc-preload.so, which is not a search path for shared libraries. It should rather install to /usr/lib/s390x-linux-gnu/ instead.
