Attempt to install libimobiledevice-1.2.0 throws error: "libimobiledevice4 missing files (usr/lib//.so.4*), aborting"

Question

I'm building and installing libimobiledevice 1.2.0 following the instructions at: libimobiledevice 1.2 (iOS 8 Support) for Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty but I keep getting the error:

libimobiledevice4 missing files (usr/lib/*/*.so.4*), aborting

The full error:

dh_install --fail-missing
dh_install: libimobiledevice4 missing files (usr/lib/*/*.so.4*), aborting
debian/rules:19: recipe for target 'override_dh_install' failed
make[1]: *** [override_dh_install] Error 255

What could be causing this and how do I fix it?

OS: Ubuntu 14.10

@A.B. no, because it's still looking for a fix to the error of this way of building the deb — Don Rhummy, Oct 02 '15 at 08:22
Retracted my vote. But maybe a part of an other answer is an answer, too. ;) — A.B., Oct 02 '15 at 08:23

I was not able to solve it for that way of installing, but this one worked:

With one change, his line:

https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice.git

Should be:

git clone https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice.git
