This works as long as you know in advance what the problem is. In practice you often don't. For example, I would have never guessed that there would be a problem around files vs symlinks in /opt/csw/lib (in the mysql libraries thread[1]). I would have only hit it when trying to submit my package. Thanks to the ITP thread I was able to know about the issue in advance. You can say that it's a general issue with shared libraries, but we wouldn't come across it if we didn't consider the specific case of a package compiled in a custom prefix.
