This kind of switch adds extra complexity - and not needed unless moab
and petsc codes are intertwined and released simultaneously.

Do we really need to track moab-dev?


Also the git stuff [instead of just tarballs is adding extra
complexity [which is also breaking some current functionality - like
--download-package=url]

Its not clear to me if we really need to track the git repos of
external packages.
