IMHO there are just two alternatives: Either the code is "ours", in
which case it should be an optional component and should only be updated
together with libreoffice. Or it is external, in which case the sources
should not be duplicated in our repo, but the project should be treated
as another one of the dozen extensions we allow to bundle. That means,
download the .oxt during build, unpack it, put it to instdir and be done
with it. (This is directly supported by gbuild, using
gb_ExtensionPackageSet).
