... an here it is: the package has a lintian error:
binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath
with that lintian error, the package will get auto-REJECTED moments
after the upload (cfr [1]).

The proper way to avoid it is to fix this error :) There is also a
workaround, but I since it seems you care a bit about this package,
i'd like to give you teh "opportunity" to correct it.
Additionally, are you interested in co-maintain it? maybe write to the
current (quite inactive) maint lending your hand.

these changes are fine: give a look at the rpath issue and I'll sponsor it.
