I send a patch that:
- add a new tracker-gnome-search-tool package;
- remove issues with --rpath  [0];
- add --as-needed for ld to remove unnecessary library dependencies;
- add linda overrides for warnings about wrong "changelog.gz" names. It
happens because Tracker is seen as a native debian package. But it can
be consider that debian packages and releases of Tracker are
independents... so the overrides;
- some cleanups (unnecessary files, backup files still there, etc.)
