Any suggestions, then? ;-)

I've also run into similar issues with cx_Freeze: I wanted to package
a game written using PyGame, which itself requires some SDL libraries,
which in turn require different libraries like smpeg (if I remember
correctly). It gets to the point where one is effectively building a
Python distribution (another question asked recently but not answered
sufficiently), which has minimal linkage to other libraries - perhaps
the system C libraries, some X11 libraries, and nothing more. Some
ideas about doing that successfully (perhaps LSB enters the picture)
would be quite useful.
