Hmmm, does not sound good. But you seem to have tried upgrading your
whole machine instead of creating just a chroot or virtial machine. I
would not have recommended to upgrade your workhorse from stable to
unstable, thought.

I'm personally running testing and I like this compromise.

As far as we can tell, they are not explicitly putting rpath into the library, it seems that libtool is doing it, and it isn't obvious how to prevent libtool from doing that. What I've done is used the chrpath utility to strip the rpath from the library, that seems to eliminate the lintian error, however I have to run some additional tests to make sure the library works fine.
OK, thanks for the update. Working together with upstream is always a
good idea.

OK. I'll wait patiently for any news.
Kind regards
