Besides, eigen3 is a header-only library. not a shared one.

Hi Sean,

There are two embedded source tarballs:
1. abseil-cpp: the upstream (google) development model makes
   it unsuitable for debian packaging. This is a mandatory
   dependency of tensorflow. hence the embedded tarball.
2. eigen3: debian ships another version of this package. However,
   tensorflow is tightly coupled with a specific snapshot version
   by upstream. building against debian's eigen3 will result in
   nothing but FTBFS. Patching tensorflow to fix the insane amount
   of API breaks could be impractical as currently there is only
   one person working on this stuff.

Does Tensorflow export the Eigen API?
Because then we could get problems when linking it to other libs later, as discussed in #868355.

Cheers Jochen
