The upstream repo seems to use bazel as its build system, at least
according to the README. Is that not usable here? The bazel tool
appears to be packaged in bazel-bootstrap in Debian.

I note that some of the BUILD.bazel files are themselves generated
files, so you will also need to figure out how to regenerate them.

   $ git grep -l 'This file was automatically generated by' | wc -l
   396

I noticed that upstream has a common-protos-1_3_1 tag, perhaps they
could be convinced to add a version number?

Or use the default version number uscan uses for unversioned repos.
