That might indeed work in some cases but unfortunately not here. The files I need are `BUILD` files, the Bazel equivalent of a makefile. Even if they wanted to, upstream would not be able to move them. While I don't need to package sources that are already available in Debian, I do need the configuration information contained in those `BUILD` files. -Olek
