[Fedora-packaging] Updating rpath guidelines? (was: Re: Help with rpath issue)

So actually for most cases, the case that rpath /usr/lib64 is

sed -i.libdir_syssearch -e \
'/sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec/s|/usr/lib |/usr/lib /usr/lib64 /lib
/lib64 |' \ configure
------------------------------------------------------------------------
i.e. just add the needed paths to sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec in
configure (note that libtool in the build directory is generated
by configure) before calling %configure. - You can alternatively
do "autoreconf -fi", however calling autotools
is not recommended unless unavoidable.

To continue an old thread: is there any plan to update the current
packaging guidelines?
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Beware_of_Rpath
I've been using the DIE_RPATH_DIE hack for one of my packages, vala, for
a long time, but today when working on an update for it I decided to try
and get its compiler test suite working; it turns out that the only
reason it's been failing all along was that the DIE_RPATH_DIE solution
made it impossible to run the tests against an uninstalled copy of
libvala, because, as you can guess, it requires using rpath.
Adding /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 to the bundled libtool solved the problem
nicely.
