Yes I'm on it, but this is probably an at-least multi-week effort, if
not months, so don't hold your breath.

Besides, my work (based on Thomas' previous work) will not account for
packages that share the same source tree (and thus the same download)
except when they are a target and host variants.

I.e. linux and linux-headers are two different packages, so my series
will not try to address this use case, at least not for now.

So I think that this patch is still needed. The worst that may happen is
that it today serves to share the download, and that tomorrow it may
change to nmean also sharing the same source directory. Hence, naming
this variable _SAME_SOURCE_AS is future-proof! ;-)
