Comment 1 for bug 1740905

I'm on the fence about this. `pull-lp-source`, `pull-debian-source` are for pulling down and extracting the uploaded tarballs of a source upload. The latter, for instance, does not talk to alioth, which it could now.

I would suggest this be proposed to a non-git-ubuntu forum (ubuntu-devel@?) and see what people say. It seems easier to just say, stop using `pull-lp-source` when this would actually be useful (all packages imported) rather than adding a try/except dependency in pull-lp-source. Also, that path would end up pulling down a *lot* of data, when a user might only want a little bit.

IMO, `pull-{lp,debian}-source` and `git ubuntu` satisfy two different use-cases.
