How about Solution #4: Abbandon libbz2. It'll make all those packages
uninstallable, but this is unstable, and they'll get recompiled well
before release. I prefer to keep as few copies of libraries as possible,
and this early in Woody, it's easy to completely replace a library.
This may not be such a good idea if they aren't source compatible,
though.
