I think it's because multiple libraries/binaries depend on it. Meson knows how
to deduplicate libraries found via pkg-config (presumably because that has
enough information for a topological sort), but apparently not when they're
found as "raw" libraries. Until now that was also just pretty harmless, so I
understand not doing anything about it.
I see a way to avoid the warnings, but perhaps it's better to ask the meson
folks to put in a generic way of dealing with this.
I wonder if this Meson PR[0] will help.
