Well, that’s why I’m asking as I don’t have time to investigate the
reasons for the suggested changes myself.  I know what “bluez” and
“libogg” do, but it’s a bit odd to have them as dependencies of GNUnet.

GNUnet doesn’t encode/decode ogg audio files, does it?

Commenting unusual inputs should be enough.
