That's not how it works.
It runs ldd against apt and sees that it depends on libpkg and
libstdc++2.9. Then it runs ldd against libpkg and sees that it depends
on libstdc++2.9. It never looks at the installed copy of libpkg,
except at the /var/lib/dpkg/info/apt.shlibs file.
I'm not kidding. :) APT 0.1.7 has no 2.8 dependancy, and it was built
with a libpkg linked against 2.8 on the system. I've done enough shlib
madness with GIMP to understand this, I'd hope.
