If guile depends on ltdl, and no geda-gaf routine ever calls that lib,
I would say that it is the problem of the person installing guile and
guile-dev to handle.

$ find . -type f | xargs grep ltdl *
./docs/wiki/geda-gschem_ug.fr.html:    libguile-ltdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libguile-ltdl.so.1 (0x00b62000)
./docs/wiki/geda-gschem_ug.html:    libguile-ltdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libguile-ltdl.so.1 (0x00b62000)
$

How did you wind up in this situation?
