Ah, /lib and /usr/lib is indeed where those libraries are coming from. I think that I'll take your suggestion to require those dependencies to be installed by the user. That sounds like a lot less work, and would have the bonus feature of a smaller distribution size and less headache keeping up with security patches for all the dependencies I need. :)
