Yes, libmesh is a good library. Only their build system and the way to
compile your own programs is nonstandard that's why I decided to
create a debian package for it. Now it can be used very easily as any
other C++ library.
If the upstream tarball contains non-free sources, you'll have to
repackage it. See section 6.7.8.2 of the developers' reference[1].
Naturally, it must also /work/ without the parts you've removed. If
possible and useful, you may want to consider moving the parts that
have been removed to packages in non-free or contrib (assuming your
package has such a plugin architecture). They'll have to have a
seperate source package though.
