[Pkg-running-devel] Bug#789875: subsurface: FTBFS in experimental

[Mikko Rasa]

Since these emails managed to escape my mail filters and catch my 
attention, I'll butt in with my opinion.  Apologies if this has been 
said already.

Have you considered in-source copies of the modified libraries?  Perhaps 
as git submodules?  If you take full control of building and installing 
them, you could either link them statically or install them in a private 
directory.  Just yesterday I debugged a segfault in icedove which was 
caused by the package shipping a custom version of libldap under 
/usr/lib/icedove (see [1] for details), so this kind of thing isn't even 
unprecedented in Debian.
