This isn't the best name for a piece of software I suggest, but it is

'murmur-hash' takes the code from a repository SMHasher, but I'm not
interested in packaging that. That is OK?

I looked at the Debian package [0]. It uses the bundled copy or
murmur-hash. Since there doesn't really seem to be an independent
upstream distribution of murmur, I think it's fine to do the same.

What do others think?

I agree.  Just leave a comment explaining the situation so we can
revisit it later if the need arises.

I'm not convinced, I'm afraid. According to the SMHasher README [0]:

>This is the home for the MurmurHash family of hash functions along with the SMHasher test suite used to verify them.

So that would count that as an independent upstream distribution of murmurhash, right?

Thanks,
