The book has:

make DESTDIR=$PWD/dest install
install -vm755 dest/usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6.5 /usr/lib
rm -v  dest/usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6.5
sed -e 's/^#if.*XOPEN.*$/#if 1/' \
    -i dest/usr/include/curses.h
cp -av dest/* /

So yes we removed dest/usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6.5, explicitly, and after
the rm -v command there will be dangling symlinks.  And the paragraph
above this command has already explained why we must do that.

Again the LFS book is a book for human to read, not (just) a script
collection, thus the text has at least the same importance as the
commands.  Running jhalfs w/o reading the text is not the intended use
of the LFS book.
