Even more intersting, it
 a) has a rpath on /usr/lib 
 b) has -L/usr/lib/../lib  :)

That sounds like a mess. Why not propley use multiarch paths for
multi-ABI stuff? I'd seriously hope those will repesent different archs?

That's users on crack though, for that it's /usr/local and always was.

You also get into the same situation with  people overwriting packages' /usr/lib
(or even installing in /usr/local), so this argument is moot.
