Just to add more info.
The PPA build log clearly shows /usr/usr.
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35553788/buildlog_ubuntu-karmic-amd64.shotwell_0.3.2-1~karmic1_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz
In Firefox Ctrl-f and search term /usr/usr.
In the file "shotwell_0.3.2-1~karmic1.tar.gz" there is:
"/home/nate/Downloads/shotwell-0.3.2/debian"
And this contains the file dirs and this file contains /usr.

Also in this "shotwell_0.3.2-1~karmic1.tar.gz" file, it contains the
make file and in here on line 22 it looks suspicious:
"mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/usr/share/applications".
