Do you mean that even if the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH is defined, it gets overridden by hardcoded rpath?
Exactly.

If it is the first, then please update the Debian wiki page, and also drop a note about it to ju...@debian.org (I see that he is not subscribed to updates to that wiki page).
I've written to Jurij, but not adapted the wiki page yet. I want to wait for his (or her?) answer first.

BTW: Libraries in sugar-jhbuild seem to set rpath, too - at least libevince.so does have RPATH=/home/sugar/sugar-jhbuild/install/lib64.
As I understand it, rpath has its sane uses, it is not a complete evil. Only for packaging as part of Debian (and derivatives) is it a definitive no-no.
Can't think of any issue it could cause inside sugar-jhbuild, so it's probably fine, yes.

Please do not cc me: I am subscribed to the list.
Sorry, you didn't set Mail-Followup-To and I'm used to doing group-reply as I'm on several mailing lists where non-subscribers post to.
