there was previous discussion that checking against changelog entries
was insufficient [0]. has this direction changed?  if so, i could have
avoided submitting a lot of these libtool bugs by simply checking that
the package depends on libltdl and has a changelog entry saying that is
the case, but i don't think that would have been considered sufficient.

i am expecting maintainers to actually double-check their linking
process to verify that they are not pulling in the embedded code.  is
that asking too much?
