Source: libgit2 Version: 0.24.5-1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
The source package embeds third-party dependencies in deps/. This appears not to be necessary: I installed the Build-Depends, deleted deps/*, ran `debian/rules build`, and it still worked. You can remove this in the next upstream release by adding some Files-Excluded: entries to d/copyright and adjusting d/watch accordingly; see `man uscan` for details and/or ask me for help. After this is done, one can also remove the corresponding entries in d/copyright. At the moment the situation is a bit confusing because it looks like the package requires these embebbed libraries, but they're not actually used.
