Correct, we need a separate package build from source code.

It would not be the first time that we are keeping generic non-medical
preconditions for packages in our focus inside the Debian Med
repositories. So this is no problem in general. Just commit to Debian
Med Git and see how far you might proceed. I admit I have no experience
with machine code and you probably need to ask for help on other channels
(like debian-mentors@l.d.o or so).
Kind regards
Andreas.
