I guess you may have contacted the wrong maintainer about this script.
Git blame could tell you that it's some kind of leftover from my old
packaging works (non-bazel-based). I did not purge debian/embedded
and the corresponding directory because in the past:
1. tensorflow requires abseil-cpp to build. However the API/ABI of
abseil-cpp is too volatile to be appropriate for debian packaging.
2. tensorflow (some old version) requires a specific snapshot of eigen3
that is newer than libeigen3-dev provided by debian to build
successfully.
I don't know if the current bazel-based packaging process is going
to use the two embeded sources -- please remove them if not. I'm
leaving the question to crusoe.

I have no idea about the external/ directory.

I'm not sure whether this is related, but I think an empty bazel
BUILD file is not helpful at grabbing solib dependencies:
