I think ldd also shows indirectly linked libraries, i.e. those linked to
libraries the app links to. Those don't generate a dependency, and
neither should they. If the app uses one of those directly, it should
link to it directly as well, then it will generate a dependency.
Now I hope this explains something and doesn't confuse. :)
