I don't think it's up to the man pages to worry about the users path, eg in unix tradition /sbin was not in the normal users path but the man pages for those utilities don't take that into account. OTOH /usr/lib/rpm is not something that *anybody* should have in their path, so we probably should mention that much in the man page: this is not something you normally invoke manually.
We have multiple such utilities that we still want man pages for, so we need to come up with a "policy" on the matter. One way would be adding a short paragraph to the examples section stating that it's not normally in the path and the universal way to invoke it would be (something like) `$(rpm --eval "%{_rpmconfigdir}")/rpmdeps`
