        This is a special setup hook which helps in packaging proprietary
        software in that it automatically tries to find missing shared library
-       dependencies of ELF files. All packages within the
-       <envar>runtimeDependencies</envar> environment variable are
-       unconditionally added to executables, which is useful for programs that
-       use <citerefentry>
-       <refentrytitle>dlopen</refentrytitle>
-       <manvolnum>3</manvolnum> </citerefentry> to load libraries at runtime.

+       You can also specify a <envar>runtimeDependencies</envar> environment

+        can be done by setting the <envar>dontAutoPatchelf</envar> environment
