it's of relevance to the packager.

"the universal operating system" != "compile once, run anywhere".

the gist is: if you depend on system provided libraries, you have to
link against the versions of these libraries available on the target system.

if you want to provide packages useable on Debian woody, you need to
link those packages against libraries available on feisty. it's not
really an option to provide packages built on linux mint rosa. or the
other way around.

or (in a less convoluted, real-world, pd-l2ork specific example):
you cannot just give packages compiled for Ubuntu Precise to users
running Ubuntu Utopic, and blame ubuntu for "improperly symlinking
system-wise".
