Because otherwise installed binaries would end up with rpaths, even for
standard library paths. (Probably a bug, I wonder if that got fixed yet.)
It's also quite silly to build the binaries with rpaths first and then edit
them out when installing, as normally those rpaths shouldn't be needed
(that's what the .shell wrappers in the uninstalled tree which set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH are for).

Then the testsuite for that package is broken, they need to run the .shell
wrappers which CMake creates in the object tree for this purpose, not the
uninstalled binaries directly. If they use CMake correctly, it'll take care
of this automatically. But apparently they hardcode the binary to run
without taking care of this.
