I would never NMU just to correct an harmless rpath. Thus if I NMU such a
package, it's because of something else and I usually try to fix easy
lintian warning/errors at the same time.
I'm not even sure I would bother fixing this particular issue because
updating autotools stuff is never without risks. Maybe I might add a
chrpath -d but that's not the elegant solution.
I still think it's not a very good idea. I agree with Stephen's
concerns but that should motivate you to fix lintian's shortcomings not
to continue this MBF.
