Debian policy is to not use embedded code copies. I would suggest
working with your upstream to get their mruby changes merged into
mruby upstream and then get your upstream to remove their mruby
embedded code copies. The extensions would need to be packaged for
Debian too.

Dynamic linking is preferred to static linking so if you can get rid
of that it would be good too.
