Comment 2 for bug 373460

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.
