Please someone advice on this.Install into /usr/lib/<package> and use RPATH on the executables using it. If upstream uses autotools, I think just passing an appropriate libdir will do the right thing.So http://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue do not apply to all shared libs, only public ones?yes. and BTW, I find rpath very acceptable for purely private shared libraries. And even during development and local deployment, rpath is pretty convenient.
I do not doubt that rpath has sane uses. What I assumed obvious but can state explicitly now to avoid possible confusion, is that my concern here is tied to official Debian packaging - not e.g. "local deployment".
Do you mean to say that *for* *Official* *Debian* *packaging* it is safe to ship shared libraries with rpath when not installed in ldconfig supported paths?
Currently the package generates an shlibs file and ldconfig snippets in postinst and postrm scripts. Lintian then complains with these:W: scenic-utils: postinst-has-useless-call-to-ldconfig W: scenic-utils: postrm-has-useless-call-to-ldconfigldconfig only indexes /lib and /usr/lib (and a few corner cases, but not /usr/lib/$package, this is the point of putting them there)Is it wrong of dh_shlideps to include subdirectory below /usr/lib?yes, because you do want to include the private libraries's library dependencies, don't you?Is it sane to pass -X/usr/lib to dh_shlibdeps to suppress it?no, see above.
Sorry - I am confused: why not suppress wrongly included private shared libraries from being registered by dh_shlibdeps?
