This saddens me that people continued to give a thumbs up to a non-optified app and that the author promoted it anyways despite this blocker.
EDIT 1: Also, how come libzlibrary is on the Maemo Downloads webpage despite being in "libs"?
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/libzlibrary/
EDIT 2: I thought I'd clarify some things to avoid my comments being perceived as overly simple since some complexities are involved due to how library promotion works. So no one voted on libzlibrary after the non-optification was pointed out. Its easy for FBReader testers to have missed it though 4 people gave thumbs-ups after the dependency issue was pointed out. The author still would have known about it and shouldn't have promoted with a blocker despite the number of votes.
The really sad part? This can all be automated. To be fair, my understanding of the concerns about doing it are time to implement and test it, time added to the upload process, server load from doing it, and accuracy because rootfs is compressed.

What I don't get is why people don't just freaking optify things. It's super easy.
Done. That's literally it.
There have been lame excuses like it'll break applications but this isn't true for the vast majority of applications. Maybe for the kernel or if someone wants to do an i386 gcc crosscompiler or something complicated/nuts like that, but for simple little apps with a couple libs, should be no problem...
Code:
echo auto > debian/optify

None of the dynamic libraries are currently optified. This really needs Nokia to change the standard ld.so.conf to add a standard /opt location (/opt/libs perhaps) so they'll get picked up by the linker.
For obvious reasons, this library needs to be optified.
