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?Yes, I do.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?because you do want to consider their library dependencies(these shared libraries might have dependencies on other shared libraries themselves!)
Ah, I get it now - yes, I was indeed confused: I meant dh_makeshlibs. :-)
