Ah, so ssort is an pre-built embedded copy of another project that the
lina build system depends on (IIRC the lina Makefile calls ssort).
Deps should be depended on, not embedded in projects that use them.

Do you have a link to ssort.cc?

The github repository should contain *only* the upstream source. The
source files for other upstream projects should not be present. The
pre-built files for lina, its documentation or other upstream projects
should not be present. If you need to distribute pre-built files or
docs for lina, then you can attach them to github releases instead.

What is the motivation for this? As long as ssort.cc itself is properly
packaged for Debian, then the lina package can just depend on that.
