iirc, the main argument against this is, that debian does not allow to fetch additional "helper" sources from the net. hc's other point is, that making these sources available in the CVS, is necessary because people not using debian have a hard time getting these sources.
don't confuse what would be available by getting the CVS, with what would be available from a debian source package. The latter may include source from more than one CVS.
that is exactly what i try to say. on debian systems: the restriction imposed by not being allowed to access the net can be circumvent via a debian source package. on non-debian systems: this restriction does not apply.
