sent to early. I also wanted to mention what consequences this can have: *ANY* upload to Debian containing a internal zlib will be automatically rejected. And TTBOMK there's no way to get anything with internal zlib into Debian as the error is not overridable. And that#s pure because zlib gets security issues often - and you wouldn't want to touch all packages using zlib. The same argument applies to all of the other libraries, too. 3.3.0 picked up libxml2 and xpdf (using xpdf is a bug anyway, poppler should be used) fixes for internal libraries...
