While on it, would it be worth noting the attempt we had to solve the
issue ( like punching dev in the face until they understand ) ?


Also, I guess we can add links to similar pages, if any, on other
distribution would help. I found
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries 

and i know there is a page for debian to help use find potential bundled
libraries, but i cannot find it.
