Yes, I think this would be good. 

I don't know the `-rpath' option of ld much, so please correct me if I'm
wrong. Is it true that we don't need this option at all? If so, we should
probably make it policy that _no_ package uses this option.

The libc5->libc6 migration would surely be much easier if no binary
contains full paths of its libraries.


Thanks,

Chris
