I'll look into it, it probably isn't hard to link against the debian one
instead.

Bug description:
  Hallo,

  As embedded code copies of libraries makes the live for distributions
  harder. The Debian Policy Manual for examples states:

  "Having multiple copies of the same code in Debian is inefficient,
  often creates either static linking or shared library conflicts, and,
  most importantly, increases the difficulty of handling security
  vulnerabilities in the duplicated code. " [1]

  This problem causes an lintian-error [2] and therefore -- as severity
  is serious -- it is a possible show-stopper to package drizzle for
  Debian -- unless there are some good reasons why this  copy is needed.
  (If, please state them here ...) In this case it might be justified to
  override this linitian error.

  Many thanks for your help from the drizzle's package maintainer @
  Debian :-)
