I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
When I remove the _SOURCE line, I can still download and extract the
package normally. The name of the tar file is indeed different, but
this does not matter. The package infrastructure still correctly
handles it.

If you still think this _SOURCE is needed, could you explain in more detail?

Thanks,
Thomas
