Yes. The source package per project will be entirely distributed
within Debian, and be built into several binary packages as
convention. Maybe I will also create a high energy physics
meta-package to make the installation of all these packages easier.

We still maintain an unofficial, due to license issue, Debian package
of Geant4 which depends on CLHEP, so I think it is fine to have CLHEP
in Debian.
