Yes.

Debian tries to avoid RPATH used in ways that might break multilib or
override local administrator settings, which means we want to avoid RPATH
pointing to /usr/lib or to build directories and the like. But RPATH is
the correct solution for finding private libraries in a subdirectory
included in the package or built from the same source package.
