It seems that grpc can't be built from the GitHub repository: I thing they do some extra steps to prepare the package.

I won't add support for this (I really can't maintain the pre-release steps for every package).

[José Pedro Saraiva]

Fair enough.

I'd be happy to implement it, but it doesn't seem to fit the design, so I wanted to get some feedback first :)
We would at least need to clone the submodules, but I suspect that alone would not be enough.
