I believe the problem is more than just that. Actually
/usr/bin/rheolef-config is intended for library build config. As a
result, it is supposed to be installed in librheolef-dev instead of
package rheolef.

The move of /usr/bin/rheolef-config took place in 7.1-1. Pierre, can
you confirm this change?
