No, we can't use an embedded version while a package exist for
libprojectm2 in Debian archive [1].

In addition, I think this package is ok regarding the upstream source
and project of libprojectm. And if clementine really need more patches
applied on this library, we will be able to ask this to Matthias who
maintain this package.

For the moment, I could not find other person who has this issue. So I
think it is a corner case that affect only some people. I will continue
to inspect this issue using your backtrace.

Best regards,
Thomas PIERSON

[...]If the included code is already in the Debian archive in the form
of a library, the Debian packaging should ensure that binary packages
reference the libraries already in Debian and the convenience copy is
not used. If the included code is not already in Debian, it should be
packaged separately as a prerequisite if possible.[...]
