[Approval Request Comment]
Regression caused by (bug #): always been broken
User impact if declined: affects linux packagers, if they use --with-system-bz2 they have to patch
Testing completed (on c-c, etc.): tested with local build
Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky):
This is a configure option that Linux distributions requested to link librnp against the OS libbz2. It probably never worked.
