Hello Samuel,
Thank you for taking time in reviewing this draft.

I just wanted to keep the libewf up-to-date as much as possible,
though there is no specific issue to be addressed.
As you pointed out, I realised this is not always a good practice because the latest version is a pre-release,
which could cause an unexpected consequence if it's packaged and distributed.
Thinking again, I would like to suspend the draft package until we have a next stable release of the upstream.
Apart from the draft package above, thanks for sharing the discussions in the past.
Yes, it looks like their idea is to skip packaging auxiliary and support libraries if they are not used by other projects.
Following this consensus, it would be reasonable for us to leave the embedded external libraries as they are.
Best,
Fukui
