It uses objdump to find only the immediate dependencies on the target object.
It uses ldd to then map those dependencies to files.
Then, on found files, it searches all .shlibs files to see if they are
provided by any packages.
So, if there is no LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ldd will not be able to map a dependency
to a file, so yes, it is still needed.
