Uh... you mean, that there's no way absolutely, for all eternity ?

Or it could be possible, provided that raptor tools would be changed
(and maybe all apps depending on libraptor) ?

I'm afraid I either didn't understand the technical aspects of your
answer, or have missed an obvious point.

Btw, the author of librdfa seems to be providing an unofficial package
for Debian.

Now, consider the situation when eventually someday this package makes
it way to Debian : then there would be a situation agains policy, as
there may be two copies of that same lib running in different apps on a
Debian system, with, for instance, security fixes not applied in all
copies :-( ... 

Please don't take offense, I'm nor arguing against the quality of the
libs, but just envisioning a classical situation for which a distro
policy is supposed to mandate "the right thing" to do.

Could you elaborate your answer a bit more so I can fully understand ?

Thanks for caring.

Best regards,
