You shouldn’t need to do this even if you have unlimited bandwidth,
the files should not be downloaded again. Building offline is fully
supported (and encouraged), we even disable networking during build
phases to simulate a real offline scenario.

If “make download-foo” isn’t downloading all dependencies, it’s a 
major bug.
