Followup-For: Bug #1054290

I now think that patching vendored minizip code in libxlsxwriter would not help
because it specifies the 'USE_SYSTEM_MINIZIP' define at build-time[1] in
combination with a build-time dependency[2] on 'libminizip-dev' to link to the
required library functions.

In other words: if-and-when a security update is available in libminizip-dev
then libxlsxwriter will benefit from that automatically, and the presence of
apparently-vulnerable code within src:libxlsxwriter is irrelevant.
