Ok, now I understand. But be aware, that even the compressed source can
be large (e.g. Jmol, gopenmol). Would this still allow a packaging
practice, where the upstream is put in compressed form in orig-tarball
(e.g. used by the apache maintainers team). Sorry, if this is a dumb
question, but I am not familiar with svn and e.g. the Chemistry
Development Kit needs such a packaging practice because of the circular
dependency with Joelib (the tarball then contains compressed joelib, cdk
and cdk-plugin archives).
