Wrong, that will lead to overlinking which is exactly what the
Requires.private original behaviour tend to avoid.

The  problem is that the current Requires.private behaviour is conter
intuitive and the best solution would be to move some of the
Requires.private to their Libs.private : equivalent as a workaround.
