So, I re-examined the source and none of the issues I originally listed have been addressed.
The problem with bundled libraries is that if the SONAME changes on just one library, you have to change all packages that depend on any one of them. Is upstream guaranteeing that all SONAMEs will change in lock- step? Such bundling is not recommended by Policy [1] or the Debian library packaging guide [2]. Seems odd for the Debian packagers to refuse to split. Is that discussion in a bug or mailing list somewhere? It's possible that bundled libraries aren't really as big a maintenance pain as I think they are. I will ping some other people for insight.
