Currently BUILDPACK_URL has to be a git repo.
There is (at least one) a buildpack which is distributed in pre-complied form (*.tgz). It's possible to pass link to the archive in heroku, buildpack in git requires some manual action (complication), so it won't work in Workflow.
Is it possible to re-implement this in Workflow?
As workaround I've unpacked provided archive and pushed it to separate git repo.
