I suppose the commit note is not clear. I am basically saying that we
do not need to statically link Tini, unlike previous revisions of this
commit. The intent of this package is no longer to satisfy the
docker-init requirement, but instead to just provide the "tini" binary
in the target environment, dynamically linked or otherwise.

According to https://github.com/krallin/tini - NOTE: If you are using
Docker 1.13 or greater, Tini is included in Docker itself. This
includes all versions of Docker CE. To enable Tini, just pass the
--init flag to docker run.

This was the source of the original reasoning of the note.
