I don't think that when upstream has those 3rd party packages included with extra effort (supporting them in their build systems, in some cases even supporting conditional-building with either the in-source copy or use the copy already installed in a system, freshen upstream from time to time, etc) would consider removing them just because somebody asks, even if it comes from a well-known distribution like Debian/Ubuntu. At least the packages that I'm thinking of, won't do it in a million years and would insist that it's better for their target users (and informal surveys of users' opinions seem to confirm that). Your Mileage May Vary, though. Do you know of cases where upstream agreed to do that? Cheers. -- Manuel A.
