They probably have their reason why they think these belong in
/usr/lib.

Another would perhaps be an install option, to link against static
version of the libraries if they are installed. But I am quite new to
Ubuntu, so I can't see how easy this is.

But in any case I don't have the impression that much people are too
much worried about this bug. First it was declassified and now it is
not even assigned to anybody anymore. To be honest, when I switched to
Ubuntu recently, I expected a bit more.
