Thank you for the answer.

I was investigating all the source code of the software i'm packageing
and isn't necessary set libtom{crypto|math} as build-deps or runtime
deps because the upstream author only included a few lines (some crypto
functions he needed) from this libs on his source code and licensed all
with GPL, isn't necessary create packages for each library.

I'm asking the Upstrean Author for permissions from Tom St Denis
(original author of libtom) to license parts of his library included in
his software with GPL license. 

Best regards,

 Hey!
 
 I need to package some libraries that are dependency of a package i'm
 working on.
 
 The license files of this libs says that this software is public
 domain, i need the definition of 'public domain' from upstream author
 or is it DFSG compliant?
 
 This libs can be downloaded here:

Well, that's an extraordinarily noisy website.  A link to the actual
licenses might motivate me more, but generally speaking, if they just

Take care,
