git clone and Launchpad build system

[Gregory Lutostanski]

Launchpad builders have an issue with git where they do not proxy that
connection, only https. Here the issue is that that github repo has
submodules specified with the git: url schema (and its doing a recursive
checkout of the source).

The bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad-buildd/+bug/1663920

As a workaround you can change the submodules to https: rather than git:
annoying indeed, that is what I had to go with personally. Dunno if anybody
else has other ideas.
