+Comment: Upstream embeds everything that is needed to build ring inside the release tarball.
+ Everything that is already in Debian has been removed.
+ .
+ OpenDHT was kept and not packaged independently. OpenDHT was written for Ring and is a moving
+ target. It is best to wait until it is more mature before packaging it separately.
+ .
+ Msgpack was kept because the version available in Debian is currently too old for Ring to build.
+ The Debian version of Msgpack cannot be updated at the moment because of reverse dependencies which
+ are not ready.
+ .
+ Pjproject was kept because it is heavily patched by Ring developers. None of the patches were merged
+ upstream and Ring developers are still waiting for a reaction from Pjproject developers.
+ See the relevant threads:
+  - http://lists.pjsip.org/pipermail/pjsip_lists.pjsip.org/2014-October/017905.html
+  - http://lists.pjsip.org/pipermail/pjsip_lists.pjsip.org/2015-January/018072.html
+ .
+ libiax2 was kept because it is a version of the library hosted and maintained by Savoir-Faire Linux
+ for the Ring project.
