+removed libraries
+-----------------
+
+upstream embeds a number of FLOSS libraries, that Debian already ships:
+ - FLAC
+ - OGG/Vorbis
+ - jpglib
+ - pnglib
+ - zlib
+upstream also includes some FLOSS headers for building OS-specific audio
+plugins:
+ - AudioUnit (OSX)
+
+since we don't need either of these, they are stripped away rom the source
+tarball (in order to not accidentally use them).

+NOT-removed embedded libraries
+------------------------------
+
+upstream also includes an embedded copy of Box2D which is available on debian as
+"box2d".
+Unfortunately it seems that the two are really different versions and the API
+has changed.
+Therefore we are currently building with the embedded copy.
+
+Once upstream updates their embedded copy to a version compatible with the one
+shipped by Debian, we will switch to the system library.
