Fine with me.

It's not to make me happy but to follow the guidelines:

Please take a look at the bugs blocking the duplication of system libraries
tracker bug 504493, for example at but 495310. Duplication of system libraries
not only means that you must not build new, modified libs but also that you
should not contain forked copies of other code in your tarballs to build
against them. The focus should be on upstreaming the changes and I'm sure you
will be going the right thing here.
