Hi,
I just tried to upload a Haskell package built with ghc-7.8, but it was
rejected:
libghc-mtl-dev: lintian output: 'binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath usr/lib/haskell-packages/ghc/lib/x86_64-linux-ghc-7.8.3/mtl-2.1.3.1/libHSmtl-2.1.3.1-ghc7.8.3.so /usr/lib/ghc/ghc-prim-0.3.1.0', automatically rejected package.

GHC-7.8 (in experimental) started to also create shared libraries, but
these live in private paths, so it uses rpath allow the linker to find
them. It seems to me that this is a valid use of rpath.
I could start to create override files and add them to ~700 packages,
but it seems to make more sense to make lintian aware of this use, and
do not report this error for rpaths pointing to something in /usr/lib/ghc/.
I mark this as important as it prevents us from uploading further
Haskell packages to experimental (at least without temporary
work-arounds).
Thanks,
Joachim
