Could you please point me to the incompatible licenses? Which
libraries have them?

Luciano worked a lot with the licenses in order to make everything
work in Debian. I'm sure he did an excellent work because he bugged me
during 15 days about it ;) and at the end we were able to have a

to clarify all the possible issues that you are finding.
