Fix the file by hand on your system and rebuild your package. If that
is all that is wrong then just wait. The extra rpath is not hurtfull
on a Debian system nor does it make the binary incompatible with other
linux systems, provided thy have the libs in /usr/lib64 where they
should be. It won't run on systems that have the library in
/usr/local/lib or ~/lib or something though. Bothersome but no big
deal for the moment.
