I don't even have the skill to understand what it is ;-) What type of
support could be provided to an external build system?

I see a quality issue here. The current build system might be lame but
it tries to support each package to build against the right
dependencies etc. If a package would be given more freedom in how to
perform the build the risc of subtle problems would also increase.
