However, I would expect that it is possible to export those routines from vbetool in a way that they can be used by swsusp? What I mean is instead of linking the routines in, calling them in vbetool through some (possibly as yet nonexisting) commandline interface. That way you would need a normal Depends: instead of a Build-Depends on the source (which is not technically possible). Duplicating source code in the archive is almost always a bad thing, because they will go out of sync at some point.
