"Debian's Stance
While there's no policy dictating the accepted use of RPATH, it's been a general consensus that RPATH use is discouraged, given the interactions between the above reasons and Debian's way of dealing with libraries and package dependencies."

The ocaml package has debian-specific patches to remove the ability to specify rpaths using ocamlmklib (0003-Don-t-use-rpath.patch).
