If we pass DESTDIR to make install this patch is not needed as we are
not changing $(prefix) which does not cause any problems while
relinking (I currently using packages built without this patch -
basied on your 13.2 packages from people.debian.org. I'll forward a
patch off list)

As I say above it does seem to fix the problem with lintool with
relinking.
