Yeah, that's the thinking behind adding it here - the scanner is aggregating a set of link libraries for the root importer, and an assumption is made that a module with export_as link name set will be covered by a `LinkLibrary` of one of its dependents. e.g. `SomeKit` depends on `SomeKitCore` and the latter sets `export_as SomeKit`. And the scanner's client may only see `ModuleDeps`, and not this info, so it can use this bit to know to avoid processing its `LinkLibraries`.
>From what I can tell the above scenario matches the circumstance where this bit is set on a `Module` -> when a module with the `export_as` name has already been found.
Given this, I do not really see a reason to report `LinkLibraries` for such modules at all, what do you think that instead of having this bit here we instead just use it in the scanner to know to avoid populating `LinkLibraries` added here?
