Please note that I only mentioned my personal opinion, in practice Debian's opinion is that bundling is fine, even of unmodified stuff that is already packaged and especially for modified or unpackaged things. There are tons of code/data copies in the archive, many of which are registered with the security team (see the wiki page linked earlier) and many which are not. > the embedded communities would really need a pure Debian package. Hmm, why would Flatpak not work for them? > Fedora today basically allows bundling. I thought they actually had a similar policy to Debian; if possible, try not to bundle but if you cannot avoid it, fine. We only use "should" after all. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
