The only big problem I have with that is that is required some unknown
subset of build-dependencies to be installed, and to run code _from_
_the_ _package_, just to unpack a source package. This makes me
uncomfortable: you have to install and run complicated tools and
untrusted code, with all the potential for bugs and security trouble
that involves, just to see the source code.
