To reiterate this. Both zlib and libiconv are builtins on DragonFly. For
both, the system libraries (libz and libc) are used. A build of any
package depending on them still wants to install them as dependency,
without actually needing them as binary package. Let me write it the
other way around, the binary package *doesn't* depend on devel/zlib or
converters/libiconv, but they are still installed, when building.

Can this be fixed?
