It is mainly the bundled software that is already packaged separately in Debian (lilv etc.). It is allowed to bundle, if there is a valid reason (e.g. the bundled software is heavily patched, or there is a large delta between the Debian version and the one that Carla uses). But it will take me some time to sort it out & test using the system versions. There are also quite a few other minor things that will take time to sort out. Thanks for the data on the dependencies. It will help to prioritise. An ntk package (one of the optional dependencies) is nearly ready in the Debian Multimedia Team. Jaromir could not find a sponsor back when he packaged it.
