Right, I understand that they sometimes make patches, but usually they
should be applied directly to the original package and fed back
upstream, no? How come that we could build OO.o against the system
libraries so far?

I have to say that splitting out OO.o specific libraries into separate
packages is much worse than having internal copies of them, since that
encourages other packages to use the -oo.o variants as well and thus
make the mess even worse.
