I agree that it would be nice to avoid it. On the other hand, if that's
how Audacity made their program work, we should accept it unless it
causes serious problems. I don't think that feature development of
packaged programs should happen in the distro.

I don't know what problems it could cause, just that it's unusual. A few
packages do refer directly to "kernel-headers" from the build
environment.
