I think that the patch to the source file that you mentioned before
explaining the problem is the best way.

"There is not handler for blah... please install one of these packages
[ ... ] or provide your own."

Or Depend (not Suggest) on one of those packages, and let the people
who want to play around with cupt change the control file to depend on
other download methods.

Anyway, I just wanted to bring the issue to your attention, you know
better than me how to fix it :)

Cheers.
