libtool & rpath

[Hamish Moffatt <hamish@debian.org>]

A package I maintain uses libtool. To remove the rpath stuff, I 
apply this patch to configure.in. Now lintian tells me that the executables
have rpath set too! Is there an easy way to fix that?

Also, because this package (geda) includes a library, debhelper
is generating an shlibs file for it. But then the package ends up
depending on itself, because of the shlib:Depends expansion. Is there
an easy fix for that? Splitting the packages is a possibility, but
libgeda is of absolutely no use on its own yet, and I don't think there
is anything for a libgeda-dev.


thanks,
Hamish
