Makes the most sense to me too. This way a user can decide whether to let her packaging system deal with it or not. Installing silently libltdl can be a source of woes (even statically linking it, since Guile can be linked to other apps which themselves may use a slightly different version of libltdl: watch Apache and expat coming in differently via different modules: hours of fun).
