We can build with some system libraries. But there are still bundled ones
being used:
* libpng is bundled due to APNG support,
* libffi is bundled because there's no option to use the system version,
Debian has a patch to fix that, we don't use it.
There may also be more bundled libraries, I've just mentioned the ones where
I've noticed Debian has fixes.
(In addition, Thunderbird bundles xulrunner, but there's no fix available
for that issue at this time.)
