The worst of it is how long it has been there, right under Linux's
collective noses. 8^°
ie: practically the *whole* Linux environment.

At the *very* least.

Another albeit more tasking option would be to do as Devuan has done
with systemd:
Ban zeitgeist from the Devuan repositories and sanitize any
application that has zeitgeist as a dependency but can work properly
without it.
But if it cannot be sanitized and *needs* zeigeist to work properly,
it should also be banned.
