Not every package (especially core system packages, like zlib/openssl/glibc/...) are on GitHub and want to pull in Bazel buildfiles into their source tree. As such, there's no guaranteed canonical-upstream-repo:buildfile-repo mapping, so you need some way to organize, keep track of what's where, and make sure things work well together.
