However, I think we are *not* talking about a convenience copy here. According to the upstream [issue] you cited, Intel Open Image Denoise includes a modified version of oneAPI Deep Neural Network Library, and cannot work correctly, if linked with the official oneAPI Deep Neural Network Library. [issue]: <https://github.com/OpenImageDenoise/oidn/issues/107#issuecomment-889049772> That does *not* seem to be a convenience copy. It looks like a *necessity* (modified) copy. I don't think that packaging Intel Open Image Denoise for inclusion in Debian (with that internal modified copy of oneAPI Deep Neural Network Library) would be against the Debian Policy. For instance, I personally saw a similar situation with Paraview that embeds its own copy of the VTK library. It was [explained] to me that the specific version of VTK is needed for Paraview to work correctly. [explained]: <https://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2006-October/003884.html> I [raised] the issue, while Paraview was being packaged for inclusion in Debian, but Paraview needs its own specific version of VTK and was included in Debian without linking with the already packaged VTK library. As far as I can see, the Debian package still includes its own VTK. [raised]: <https://bugs.debian.org/462631#39> Long story short, I would like to encourage you to package Intel Open Image Denoise (with its internal modified copy of oneAPI Deep Neural Network Library), if you still feel like doing so. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare!
