I will remove the files in the next .orig.tar.gz And I will forward your message to upstream because we (upstream) are also not supposed to have something in the source, so it might get deleted upstream, too. > 1.

I mean, libz is in Debian??

I recall that the security team doesn't like this as Yes, that is a small problem. The libraries are AFAIK not actually *USED* since the binaries are linked to the system libs, but everything is build, as far as I see. We are running the configure script with: --with-system-freetype2 --with-system-gd --with-system-libpng --with-system-poppler --with-system-t1lib --with-system-zlib --with-system-zzlib --with-system-gd --with-system-xpdf so they should not be used, but as far as I see this is a restriction of the build system that it does build it anyway. I will look into it. Some of the libraries with --with-system we seem to have missed: graphite, freetype, teckit ICU allows linking partly to system library, but not for xetex, since the version of ICU included in TL is slightly different/chagned, so no way to use system icu for xetex. Finally, using system-obsdcompat seems not to be supported for TL builds, so I will not do that. I will try my best to get rid of some of those libs ...
