It is required. If you really, fully build "with the included"
libraries, this would mean you get a statically linked binary - policy
requires that binaries should be dynamically linked. 

If you compile with the included libraries, but generate a dynamically
linked binary - uups, that will lead to hell.  Well, to runtime errors
at least. This is because dh_shlibdebs will look at what is installed, IIRC.
