There is one major caveat to doing that:  it will not work at all  
with the Debian auto-builders.  No network access allowed.

I still see no reason why we should not use CVS to manage "foreign"  
sources.  We already are in a lot of places and it works quite well.   
We need to use a lot of code that is far from released in building  
Pd.  That means we have to manage source code.  CVS is a good tool  
for managing source code, we all know how to use it, (many of us  
don't use python or scons at all), and even has built-in support for  
managing foreign sources.  Check out the "Tracking Third-Party  
Sources" section in the CVS manual:

http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.12.13/cvs_13.html#SEC106

Really it comes down to this: How are you guys harmed if I choose to  
manage some "foreign" sources in the Pd CVS?
