Great! Please make sure you always cross-check our Git repos:

I am not at all an expert on this, I can only report the latest  
approaches in Debian here.

On systems /usr/lib is the default folder for libraries that are built  
for the same architecture as the system itself. There also should be a  
symlink from lib64 -> lib. For other architectures there can be other  
lib folders (e.g. /usr/lib32 for ia32 stuff).

On multi-arch systems (like currently under development in Debian sid)  
there are lib folders for each architecture

   /usr/lib/<arch>/

So basically, installing code to /usr/lib should be fine.

Greets,
Mike
