Hi, I tried to track down this bug, but also failed. Because Frank reported that removing the rpath-related settings from the Makefile.in did not work I tried the modify Makefile.am. But disabling all rpath statements did not remove the rpath setting in the binaries. I guess this has something to do with linking against pkglib_LTLIBRARIES, but I do not have enough knowledge about the autotools to determine the real problem here.
However, I attached a patch the at least cures the symptoms of this bug and removes the insecure rpath setting. I added two calls to 'chrpath' to the rules file that will delete the respective rpath setting (I also modified the build-depends accordingly). The updated package builds in a clean amd64 sid chroot and yacas still seems to work (I ran several example computations that are provided on the upstream website). I would prefer fixing the bug in the makefiles rather than patching the binaries, but anyway here is the patch.
