Ah, multilib is a good argument, and that is swaying me.
I can't say I like this policy, and I think Debian is shooting itself
in the foot more than anything else, but OK, I'll add an option to
disable rpath, since it makes multilib easier to handle.
I'll add it to skaware packages over time as I work on new releases
for them. Don't expect new releases very soon though, since the latest
ones happened not long ago. In the meantime, you can use the patch you
suggested; I'll probably end up doing something very similar and you'll
just be able to remove your patch for the next versions.
>I have checked skalibs, execline and s6: rpath was introduced in spring 2025 to their Makefiles.
And that simplified installation under non-default paths *immensely*.
>Thank you for the offer, that would be perfect. But if you intended to release 2.15 anyway in the next days, then this can wait.
That wasn't my intention, because not much has happened since the last
release yet; but since current 2.14 is inconsistent across minor
versions, I will do it some time this week.
