I somehow don't get the point here.

Usually, I don't get to choose my build dependencies, so if an application I want to package depends on some module, I will have to package it. What point is there in discussing whether PyPI has a lot of crap around it, or whether it is a bad dependency? If an application I am packaging depends on a module and that module is low-quality or malware, what point is there in pulling it from GitHub instead?
