(Takes deep breath)

OK, so I presume that there is no libfreetype files or links in /usr/lib
itself?  

But you do appear to have 
1) the full set of 64 bit library files and 
2) a different version of the library executable in /usr/lib32
(probably /usr/lib32/libfreetype.so.6 is a link
to /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.0)

Is this a 64bit machine?  If so you can add links in /usr/lib to
the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu files for libfreetype.so.6 and
libfreetype.la but if not then you are going to have to find the
correct .la file for the /usr/lib32 version and then link to them.  

I don't know where in debian to find the lib32 versions.
