Thank you for the report! I've fixed the patch to ask the linker to link the library. > > Ideally the fix for this should be to just remove this patch.

In general Debian's default approach is not to ship vendored libraries, are the tests you mentioned something that gets run at build time? Debian's autopkgtest runs tests with a full system instead, so we could test loading the module and run higher level tests. Filippo
