I indeed hadn't seen the stupid name for the tarball. On my side, I
find it a bit annoying that we have to rely on sources.b.o to make
things work, so having upstream location that are working on the long
run is much better when possible. But I agree that the tarball name is
really silly here, and the risk of conflict with other packages is real.
