Turns out the reason the paths were wrong is because of
https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge which leads to paths sometimes being either
/lib or /usr/lib depending on the position of the stars in the night sky or
something. In any event it means that we cannot simply pass the paths to
packagekit any longer and assume they will resolve when correct. packagekit, or
really dpkg, still know the "real" path of the file and so asking for the
package of /lib/foo.so when it is meant to be in /usr will yield no results. To
deal with this problem the installer now tries both. Shouldn't really have any
negative side effects as the entire premise of usr-merging is that the / and
/usr are non-overlapping.
