Bug Description

debian ships libarchive packages, we need to link against them rather than including our own or fork libarchive and link to it. Basically, debian packaging guidelines don't allow embedded libraries.

This may also be the case for zlib, but we should follow what MySQL packages do on debian/ubuntu in regards to this.

We have custom modifications to bundled libarchive, see bug #977998. So we cannot link against the system one.

It's a hard requirement for debian packaging (for shipping with debian) that we don't have a lib like this embedded in our code - so we either: a) push patch to upstream or b) package it separately (essentially forking libarchive)

I'm discussing with Clint what's the best for us to go forward with.
