This shouldn't be a problem; it's already packaged separately in Debian
and we can build-depend on that.

- debuginfod is licensed under GPLv3+, so has the same issue as libbfd
- libzstd is licensed under GPLv2 (with most of its code also
permissively licensed)
- libcrypto is now licensed under Apache 2.0, which is not compatible
with GPLv2
So I think only libzstd can be enabled in official packages.

These diversions are present to avoid conflicts with the wrappers in
older versions of linux-base. We can remove them after the next stable
release.
