Description:
Brotli (RFC7932) is a widely used compression algorithm for web servers.
Since version 2.15, links has supported brotli decompression, and this
capability will be automatically enabled if brotli libraries are found
during build.

Additional info:
* package version(s): 2.21-1
* upstream changelogs: http://links.twibright.com/download/ChangeLog

Steps to reproduce:
$ ldd $(which links) | grep libbrotlidec
returns nothing, since the binary isn't linked with libbrotlidec.so
This task depends upon
