As far as I understand, the LGPL does not limit the use of a program.
And when you create or distribute a package, you are only bound to the
license conditions of the code pieces that you use to create it. As
long as your binary package is not a derivative of an (L)GPL program,
its license conditions cannot be influenced by (L)GPL.
