I'm not familiar with Debian convention regarding this so please take
any comments here with a pinch of salt.
Considering that you've found a precedent, you should be able to package
biojppm/cmake together with c4core. Does upstream provide a combined
release tarball with it included? If so, I'd suggest using that for the
upload and look to split it out of the package if required.
Hope that helps.
