Package: libffi3-dev
Version: 1:3.4.1-7
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

libffi.la has the following libdir:

libdir='/usr/lib/../lib'

That cuases libtool to add the rpath option when linking against the
library which in turn prevents shlibs to work (since no package
contains /usr/lib/../lib/libffi.so) which in turn miscompiles
e.g. sablevm which in turn causes FTBFS for a lot of java packages.
