AFAICT they don't need it (except of course libc.so.6 and ld-linux.so.2). Debian ship a whole distro with the shared libs all 644 (apart from those 2 aforementioned libs). IMHO the current practice seems like a historical quirky thing.. probably made worse by questionable libtool compatibility behavior..
