Some packages need it, but it's rare and possibly there's ways to
avoid it. Now if I remembered which package that was...

Move libpgport.a, libpgcommon.a, and libpgfeutils.a from libdir to pkglibdir

These static libraries are server-version dependant (though many
functions are compatible), so move them from $libdir to $pkglibdir, i.e.
from /usr/lib/<triplet> to /usr/lib/postgresql/NN/lib.

Install usr/lib/*/libpgfeutils.a
