 For a project where upstream released as two interdependent tarballs, 
 you might consider to distribute it in Debian as one source tarball with 
 another one embedded. 
  
 For an example of that approach, see the package dialect. 
  
 The places relevant for embedding are: 
 debian/copyright 
 debian/gbp.conf 
 debian/watch 
  
 I have added some comments at the top of gbp.conf and watch files to aid 
 in their use. 
  
 Hope that helps,
