It does, but Samuel's work is not merged, and this is already useful by
itself. It can always be removed once Samuel's work is merged.

I guess Samuel is working first on the host rpath relativization, then
the target rpath cleanup, and finally the target "leak of host path"
stuff. So it might be a while before Samuel's patches are ready and
merged.

And Yann's patch has already uncovered an issue with the Bellagio
package.

Best regards,

Thomas
