Hi David,

Yes, I've noticed many of them do. I probably missed some, too. Not
all of them, though.

Have you checked this recently? I don't remember which was the culprit
here, but when I tried this earlier today some of them were trying to
drag new libc runtime, which was way too much for my intent.

I stand corrected regarding owncloud-doc and libjs-pdf. Please can you
recheck the others? I think if one of them attempts to drag new native
binary code, which drags in new libc runtime, this should be
considered a blocker for backports.

Many thanks
