Alas, I did not get far. Static libraries for ntcard and twopaco are
easy to add (I have pushed 'static-library' branches to salsa for these
packages). However, pufferfish has patched main() functions of ntcard
and twopaco executables in order to use them in internal calls.

This sounds like you should keep the code copies (which was your initial
strategy anyway if I remember correctly).
At this point I do not think much can be done without getting the
upstreams of pufferfish, ntcard and twopaco to align their interfaces.

IMHO we need some fast migration path of pufferfish into Debian to
get salmon fixed / updated.  I do not have the feeling that aligning
upstreams is a promising way to be fast.

Agree. I would suggest bringing back the embedded twopaco and ntcard for now, launching upstream alignment in the background.

Best,
Andrius
