I am not sure because we don't do this for tarballs: we keep their
original name. For example Python-3.3.0 even though the package is
named python3, cJSONFiles.zip even though the package is named cjson,
etc.

So either we decide to keep the original name for everything, or we
decide to use our own name for everything.
