The check should still be expanded..

There are libraries out there that don't link against other libries they
need to operate. 

Example, libpython2 in sid requred db2 but does not link to it. The
binaries that link to libpython2 have to have the -ldb2 for it.

This is all round bad practice and should be discouraged.
