YES: I'm talking about such configurations:

And here you have git repo and hash. Trying to semi automatically
package such things requires much overhead if you have to prefetch
everything to get a sha256 hash.

I'm not talking about the one project you do package once in a year.
I'm talking about 20 small ruby gem packages you need to get some
bleeding edge code working.
