Still, if you fail convincing upstream to remove this source
dependencies you can follow the approach I took with the "wlex" source
package (an UTF8 lexer library for OCaml).
The wlex package used to build-depends on the "ocaml-source" package (a
binary package shipping in /usr/src a tarball of the ocaml source code).
In debian/rules I used to extract the tarball in debian/... and invoke
the wlex build process pointing it to debian/... as the directory
containing the ocaml source code.
Cheers.
PS note that wlex has been superseded by ulex, if you want to look ad
the sample debian/rules you have to look for it on snapshot.debian.net
