I think Alexander's statement is only true for what will satisfy legal
requirements for FTP master.
For satisfying Debian Policy, though, that is not sufficient. Rather:
4.13. Convenience copies of code
[…]
If the included code is already in the Debian archive in the form
of a library, the Debian packaging should ensure that binary
packages reference the libraries already in Debian and the
convenience copy is not used. If the included code is not already
in Debian, it should be packaged separately as a prerequisite if
possible.
On that basis I am requesting you to report RFPs for each of the
bundled libraries, to package them as Policy §4.13 says.
