Thanks for your quick feedback!

This "debian/ThirdPartyDownloads" stuff is for sharing code between the
official Orthanc plugins. Indeed, creating a separate library would be
ideal, but this would require a huge amount of upstream work (which I
can't afford as I must develop new features), and the resulting library
wouldn't be useful out of the official Orthanc plugins.

If this helps, I could consider decompressing the archive and keeping
only the required source files. Do you think this possible solution
could mitigate the issue?

Best,
