Bug#665792: further information
It looks like there are embedded copies of several libraries in the
libs/ sub-directory:
freetype, freetype2, gd, graphite, icu, libpng, obsdcompat, poppler,
t1lib, teckit, xpdf, zlib, zziplib
Looking at the build logs (e.g. [1]) it seems these libraries are at
least being built. I recall that the security team doesn't like this as
it makes security updates harder. I don't know what the severity is,
and if it really is considered a bug to be fixed. So this is probably a
separate issue, but I noticed it while looking more at this package.
