At least some do:

$ ldd texlive-bin-2007/debian/texlive-base-bin/usr/bin/pdftex 
	linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
	libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 (0xb7f99000)
	libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7f85000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb7f5f000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7e2e000)
	libpoppler.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpoppler.so.0 (0xb7d1a000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7fd1000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7d08000)
	libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0xb7cdd000)
	libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0xb7cbc000)
	libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0xb7c52000)
	libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb7b6d000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7b62000)
	libexpat.so.1 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 (0xb7b42000)

That is not the current version in sid, but a locally changed one, and
I haven't checked yet whether any are not dynamically linked that
should.  We have

export TL_CONFIGURE_ARGS=--without-lcdf-typetools --without-dvipng --without-dvipdfmx \
        --without-dvi2tty --without-texinfo --without-musixflx --without-texi2html \
        --without-ps2eps --without-psutils --without-sam2p \
	--without-t1utils --without-cjkutils --without-dvi2tty --without-dvidvi \
	--without-lacheck --without-tex4htk --without-ttf2pk \
	--with-system-ncurses --with-system-pnglib --with-system-zlib --with-system-gd \
	--with-system-freetype --with-system-freetype2 \
	--with-freetype2-include=/usr/include/freetype2 \
	--without-install-extra

(the last one uses a patch I posted to this list a while ago.  And
promised to update to make --without the default, it's on my list).  The
other --withouts need not bother you, these things exist as separate
packages in Debian.

Here it doesn't:

making install in utils/dialog
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/frank/src/Packages/texlive-new/texlive-bin-2007/build/source/Work/utils/dialog'
/bin/sh ../../../utils/dialog/mkinstalldirs /home/frank/src/Packages/texlive-new/texlive-bin-2007/build/source/inst/bin/

/usr/bin/install -c dialog /home/frank/src/Packages/texlive-new/texlive-bin-2007/build/source/inst/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu
/tcdialog

and so on.  You can look at our sources at 

http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-tex/texlive-new/trunk/?rev=0&sc=0

but I admit it's not easy to understand (and this repository contains
only the Debian-specific parts; for package building, we use a mounted
live DVD or a copy of it, or similar.
