Thank you for your answer. I may have been a bit imprecise with my point there. I'm well aware of the reasons to maintain multiple repositories for different projects. The weak part of the story above is that we're not talking about separate projects. We're taking about a single project, where the build system is now effectively responsible for source control for some part of the project using totally different protocols for communication, authentication and versioning. Where's the win?

Well, I think I've found your problem. :-/

I had a close call with nearly installing/building some Java packages a couple of weeks ago, and due to reasons I eventually decided to try and find a different solution. Looks like the bullet I dodged was bigger than I thought.
