If it uses the library if found, then it links against it; it's just doing
the linking itself (presumably with dlopen and friends) instead of having
ld.so do it.

Not being a requirement is significant, though, as it (in some cases)
can keep a program from being forced into contrib.

In order to indicate that you want CC's on list followups, you need to set
