Just now I was getting the Ubuntu source for turbogears because I saw that 
Ubuntu had a patch that Debian doesn't and so I wanted to add that patch into 
the Debian Python Modules Team svn for the next upload.  And of course, when 
I downloaded the Ubuntu source, apt-get source warned me that there was an 
svn repo I maybe would rather consult.

Well, the reason I was getting the Ubuntu source was to put stuff INTO that 
svn repo.  Particularly for packages maintained in vcs's outside of 
launchpad, the vcs just doesn't seem like the place I would really want to 
go.
