Using the 'file-name' field would not satisfy my requirements. It has
two problems:
(1) It would cause the unmodified upstream Firefox source tarball to be
named "icecat-…" in the store.
(2) Although the resulting tarball would be named "icecat-…", the
toplevel directory name within that tarball would still be named
"firefox-…".
I consider each of these flaws to be unacceptable.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Mark
