What arguments are you passing to ./configure?  If you build from
libvirt.git and are on a Fedora-based system, then using ./autogen.sh
--system will set up the preferred arguments to configure (these include
--prefix=/usr --libdir=$prefix/$lib --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var, where $lib is either lib or lib64).

I'm not quite sure what default directories a debian-based install
prefers; patches are welcome to ./autogen.sh to account for any
differences to match debian-preferred layout.
