And with the wheel packaging, you're free to embed that library in the wheel that depends on it. You can also not do that and rely on the system libraries. The wheel provides you a way to do what you want, but doesn't force you to do it.
The are good reasons for either of those approaches, so I'd say wheel does solve the issue.
