An alternative to packaging these dependencies as independent packages,
is to embed them in groovebasin like is already done with four of the
dependencies.  They are added as d/patches/ entries.  It can be a nice
way to get an updated version into the archive, while waiting for the
new dependencies to make it into the archive on their own.

Embedding copies is hard to maintain archive-wise, because any security
fix need to be applied to all the embedded copies, so we should be
reluctant do use that approach for much used code.
