I can see that it makes things simpler, but I'm more interested in a
correct solution than a simple one.

But if FILES depends on ${base_libdir} etc., the rest of the package
should also be adjusted to install all its files into ${base_libdir}
instead of /lib. Installing files to /lib, but putting ${base_libdir}
into FILES seems extremely broken to me.
