Hm, that being said, it should also allow rpath pointing to any directory
included in the package, and if I run the current Lintian against the
virtualbox-ose package on i386, I also don't see this problem.

It may be that this report on lintian.d.o is old, although there hasn't
been a relevant change to Lintian in quite some time.  I'm puzzled.
