Hi libextractor maintainers,

I am trying to solve a problem with part of the fossology package that uses 
libextractor and I'm hoping you can help. The bug is

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=531864

Frank Lichtenheld suggested possibly adding
  '-Wl,-rpath /usr/lib/libextractor/'

to the compile flags to fix it. I tried that, but then lintian complains
  'binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath'

There is a good explanation of the issue at
  http://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue

This requirement is not yet in Debian policy, but it's being discussed at
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=555982

It looks like libextractor itself sets rpath in order to find these plugins 
(which is permitted under the proposed policy change). Are these plugins 
intended for public use? If so how can I ensure they will be found at 
runtime?

Thanks,
