If you made a GPL incompatible library a major > system component no GPL code that used it could be distributed with it. Somebody somewhere is going to argue that seperate .deb files is seperate distribution. You could argue that their interpretation is wrong and it might be. Point is that there'd be an argument and people wouldn't really be satisfied the matter was settled.
