It looks like there are embedded copies of several libraries in the libs/ sub-directory:
freetype, freetype2, gd, graphite, icu, libpng, obsdcompat, poppler, t1lib, teckit, xpdf, zlib, zziplib Looking at the build logs (e.g. [1]) it seems these libraries are at least being built. I recall that the security team doesn't like this as it makes security updates harder. I don't know what the severity is, and if it really is considered a bug to be fixed. So this is probably a separate issue, but I noticed it while looking more at this package. /Simon [1] https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=texlive-bin&arch=i386&ver=2011.20120322-1&stamp=1332552264 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
