Those libraries are embedded into the Ring daemon (dring) binary.

See the d/copyright file for justification for each library:
- OpenDHT was kept and not packaged independently. OpenDHT was written
  for Ring and is a moving target. It is best to wait until it is more
  mature before packaging it separately.

- Msgpack was kept because the version available in Debian is currently
  too old for Ring to build. The Debian version of Msgpack cannot be
  updated at the moment because of reverse dependencies which are not
  ready.

- Pjproject was kept because it is heavily patched by Ring developers.
  None of the patches were merged upstream and Ring developers are
  still waiting for a reaction from Pjproject developers.

- libiax2 was kept because it is a version of the library hosted and
  maintained by Savoir-Faire Linux for the Ring project.

Cheers,
