You are welcome!. It should be possible as long as the license allows us 
to freely download  and build a package i. e., there must be no 
limitations on the downloader.  The target package  can have 
limitations, I presume it's "non-redistributable, no modications permitted'.

Look at the two tickets for examples, there is also a commented template 
in the lpf upstream at github which is reasonably up to date.  
Preferably, use the lpf version in updates-testing while testing, 
current lpf in main repo has some annoying glitches. Assume you will 
find bugs...

If you submit a review request I can review it.
