Isn't that wrong (from the binary distribution)? The INF spec makes me
think think that library instances provided in binary format should ship
their standalone .depex files as well, and they should be referenced in
the [Binaries] section of the respective lib instance INF file.

https://edk2-docs.gitbooks.io/edk-ii-inf-specification/content/2_inf_overview/215_[depex]_section.html#215-depex-section

"Binary .depex files are listed in [Binaries] sections of the INF files."

I vaguely recall seeing an example somewhere, but nothing specific. I
could be totally wrong. :)
