I've added sort of a patch in debian bug, but no C user nor package maintainer so you can get it as is :) .
The problem the package is orphaned in Debian so nobody really looking into it.

Think the best way is to contact upstream Jakub Jelinek <email address hidden>

I just tested prelinking on Quantal, and it seems to have performed correctly. I did not get any errors in the terminal.

I should also add that on Quantal, I tested with the provided .deb package in the repos.

Depends on packages installed. One from Quantal package crashed on me just fine now.
It would seem it cannot handle some linking setups.

If I am guessing right some files list its own executable as a dependency and prelink doesn't like it.
If someone with ELF knowledge would look at my logging patch and output maybe bug can be tracked down.
