Ok, I checked the menuproxy patches in gtk; if the specified module is not found, the application will run, but it will spew a lot of warning messages to stderr. So we should probably find a better solution for that instead of unconditionally setting the variable.

Unnecessary; with the correct debhelper level, you can write this as:

  debian/tmp/gtk2/usr/lib/

... and all of the contents will be installed to the correct directory. (Or if necessary: debian/tmp/gtk2/usr/lib/* /usr/lib)

We don't need to create a new package for the file given that it's identical across architectures. Though we do still have to work out a way to get it identical across architectures which doesn't result in the regression mentioned above.
