At least the MPI packaging guidelines are an exception to this one: the
libraries are placed in MPI flavor specific directories, e.g.
%{_libdir}/openmpi/lib, which should not be visible to programs by
default. Instead, it is the environment module that sets the relevant
environment variables to make the libraries and runtimes usable.
