Hi Alec, Please note that I'm a little new to the Policy and these packaging questions, so my thoughts probably require to be confirmed by a more experimented person. Per Debian's Policy section 4.13[1], the embedding of a code from an other software packages should be avoided, unless the included package is explicitly intended to work this way. I'd say that as soon as there's no other way of having your package work (right, there's always another way, but my guess is that we don't expect someone to do hours of work that'll be a pain in the ass to maintain just for that, especially if the bundled library is a patched set of the original one) properly, it won't be a problem. That said, you'll have to reference properly the d/copyright file, and you should probably strip out all trivially out-strippable libraries that are already packaged in Debian or packageable by themselves. HTH.
