That was not the question. It was: why does some package A
require the *source* of some package B.

I see only two _clean_ options:

a) the package B is really a part of A -> then it belongs into
   its tree.
   
b) the package B is imported by A -> then the already compiled
   package B and its headerfiles have to be installed to build A.
   
Requiring the source of some package outside the tree make 
things unnecessarily complicated.
