+While on it, would it be worth noting the attempt we had to solve the
+issue ( like punching dev in the face until they understand ) ?
+
+
+Also, I guess we can add links to similar pages, if any, on other
+distribution would help. I found
+https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries 
+
+and i know there is a page for debian to help use find potential bundled
+libraries, but i cannot find it.
