There are valid reasons for Debian not to want -rpath. But we have to
use a somewhat 'hacky' method to disable it currently. I think all we
want is a somewhat cleaner method of achieving the same result.

the SONAME on libgnome almost weekly.
If we do nothing, then people using unstable will suffer from broken
applications. It's less work for the maintainers, who are already
overloaded.
