I agree that this sounds like a de facto fork of the vendored library,
more than a convenience code copy.

You could consider using a multiple-.orig-tarball package in 3.0
(quilt) format? See for example yquake2 (a relatively simple

https://github.com/yquake2/ctf) or llvm-toolchain-7 (a more elaborate
example with multiple subprojects).
