Same question for libjsmn? There's an outstanding item on my TODO list to investigate packaging libjsmn separately for Debian and modifying ntpsec to dynamically link against it. The Debian security team, in general, frowns on embedded libraries, as it is a mess if there is a security bug in a library which is commonly embedded. -- Richard
