Well, I guess the correct upstream solution is to stop listing unnecessary libs, so to a certain extent this might not be desirable there as it could mask problems. It's really a Debian change to the default flags. But you have contacts with upstream, so feel free to raise it there if you like. Maybe they will think it's a good idea.
