This is completely another problem. Indeed it would be better patching in order to use the system library instead of statically linking a local copy.

What I see is that this is a quite common choice by upstreams... -- Francesco P. Lovergine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
