This will involve:
- Check that zlib is not used in any parts that require matching of hashes as compression may be done by zlib, zlib-ng or zlib-ng-compat see https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng/issues/2216 for removing metadata from images consider exif-tool or a Python wrapper to it instead of pillow
- Get oscrypto from Fedora system repositories, see if it can be replaced by pure python equivalents
- Figure out why `gpg`test_copy_repo_generate_java_gpg_keys_update_and_gpgsign` does not work correctly and fix it
