We need to pull from a repo in debian format, as it stands now our build
system can only pull from that (so either ubuntu, debian, a ppa, etc).
Given that, not building the packages (importing them directly at the
repo level) doesn't give a big advantage. In the case of those examples,
they are packaged correctly in the debian repos but we would also need
to add the build dependencies, so it is a little extra work (and more
potential for breakage down the road).
