IMHO yes. I do not see why the usage of Rpath has reputation of beeing
evil noadays, it should be the most reliable way to go in this phase,
instead of hacking linkers and loaders. Once the transition is done and
all libraries got appropriate package names, the rpath changes may be
removed, but don't have to.
