It's not uncommon when packaging new apps to need to package a library
or two too. And most upstreams (that don't have distributions in mind)
seem to target specific versions of their dependency libraries, and just
bundle them with their app, Windows-style (and Java-style).

I prepared one app for ARB, and it required a bundled library. That's a
single data point, but from my experience elsewhere, not an outlier.
