The problem is that we are not sure whether there are any major
drawbacks and how they will affect the package. So we decided to not
automatically prelink it and ask the question with "false" as default.

I think if there really are no major drawbacks, why not? But we
currently do not know and prelink's manpage does not say anything
about possible drawbacks.
This may be a good sign, but I am not sure...
