[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I don't think messing with Warzone2100 or mkvtoolnix is the best idea.
Looking at Warzone2100, it handles pulling a specific version of utfcpp via
git submodules so I'm guessing it was packaged incorrectly in the first
place.  This is also exactly the same case for mkvtoolnix.  IMO, changing
those packages is out of scope, and they should have been packaged
differently in the first place to conform to their authors' expectations.
