No, that's not the only way. Just package python-pydal as a normal
Python module, that can be selected independently from python-web2py.
Ignore completely that it is a submodule of python-web2py, because we
don't care: python-web2py simply does "import pydal", so as long as
python-pydal has been installed, everything will be alright.

I don't get it, with the github function you can define a commit id or
a tag.

Yes, the author is wrong, I looked at the license, and it's a BSD-3c.

Well, in fact, change it to a Python package that does something:

Something along the lines of:

diff --git a/package/python-pydal/Config.in b/package/python-pydal/Config.in
index eda2f77..303762d 100644
