For upstream development, it's handy.  I like that `python setup.py test`, or
virtualenv usage will ensure that all your setup.py dependencies are
satisfied, downloading from Cheeseshop if necessary (with overrides to disable
this of course).

But I definitely agree that *building* that package for Debian should never
download anything other than from the official archives.  If the archive can't
satisfy a dependency, then it should never download from Cheeseshop.
