ATM, it's duplicated. I'd like to add a Debian backend to BitBake, so that it
supports Debian dependencies.

Yes, this is the reason. I don't know how to achieve that with git submodules,
and I didn't want to introduce a further tool like repo ATM. In commercial
environments, people have to duplicate the code anyway, so the question is only
whether one wants to have it in the project repo or not.
With kind regards,
