Don't think that is always true in this case. Because cdebconf-newt-entropy depends on it and because that is not included in the initrs (and thus installed later), I think that will pull in the full library (just as the full glibc udeb is pulled in during anna).
Of course, that would not happen if udpkg can be made to think that it is already installed, which would mean removing it from pkg-lists/exclude.
Is it strictly necessary that libslang2-udeb and libnewt0.52 are excluded? AFAIK mklibs should replace the lib from the udeb by the reduced version, so I think it should be safe to not exclude them as long as we ensure no needed symbols are reduced out (which we do in the build process).
BTW, could it be that this comment in pkg-lists/exclude is obsolete?
# some arches and versions of glibc link against libgcc1, # it will be pulled in via library reduction libgcc1 -
If I scan all current udebs I find no dependencies on libgcc*.
