Comment 12 for bug 1733603

I think the problem with this and the reason it hasn't been merged yet is that most users are expecting it to pull in a submodule from somewhere like GitHub which will probably not work with the Launchpad build bots and firewall.

It would be awesome if this wasn't the case as right now we have to work around this problem by creating source mirrors, but I also understand that's kind of "the Debian way" since all the source is supposed to be archived in the source package.
