Why? Development repositories are not meant for end users. Having a
tarball requiring only a subset of the dependencies necessary or
convenient to the developers seems nice.

To test a unreleased version of a package that uses the GNU build system
on a restricted system, the usual method would be to bootstrap a tarball
with ‘make dist’ from a development machine with Git, network access,
... and then install the produced tarball on the targeted machine.
