It sounds like you have two embedded code copies, which is discouraged
by Debian policy.
https://wiki.debian.org/EmbeddedCodeCopies
Instead of copying code around you should package it separately and
have your program depend on it. Please send the modifications to
libnetlink upstream, remove both libnetlink and libtelnet from your
code and have your build system link against these libraries.
