In my package that was offending was because there was an -rpath that had a trailing /.  It seems debugedit is very sensitive to rogue path separators. Are there ways to make this more robust?

Source for debugedit is part of RPM.  I don't see any reason why we wouldn't 
accept patches for something like this.  (However, it does seem like the rpath 
may be wrong as well.  Fixing the rpath should probably be done as well.)
