That's indeed something that I could do in the Debian package: Install
a regular libx264.so in /usr/lib, and a 10bit in
/usr/lib/x264-10bit/libx264.so in addition, and document how to use it
in some README.Debian file. Not really nice, but I guess better than
nothing.

Thanks for pointing out this option.
