Ignore dependency build.zig.zon `paths` in build script

I’m trying to include licenses / readmes from my dependencies in my project, as well as bundle dependency source code with my releases to comply with copyleft licenses (Im statically compiling to a lone executable). However, some of my dependencies exclude their readme/license from their build.zig.zon paths field. Is there any way to fetch a complete repository, ignoring the build.zig.zon paths variable? (or should I file an issue with the dependency in question…)
