Other point of view is, poppler uses its own JPEG2000 parser if openjpeg
is not present.

That parser is probably worse security wise than the openjpeg one and
the poppler developers just keep it for compatibility, but won't refuse
to spend time on it when there's maintained code out there that
implements JPEG2000 parsing better.

So maybe by makig openjpeg not go to main you're exposing your users to
an even bigger threat
