This is great news... thanks for the bug link.
@Bryce - I still think git submodules are a good idea; there's nothing intrinsically difficult from a developer's perspective after initial config, and this fix in LP should allow us to run PPA builds. Anything we can do to minimise unnecessary forks of upstream library code sounds like a good thing to me! For safety, we can just add tests to the CMake scripts to allow a feature-incomplete build if the submodules have failed to pull for whatever reason.

I attempted to sync the code for my other project (launchpad.net/qwwad) from github to Launchpad so I could build a PPA from a source recipe... it seems that git submodules were ignored in the import!
Yes, that's a launchpad bug. About to be fixed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad-buildd/+bug/1694413
