I feel I should clarify the statement that "I'd rather not pollute the
source directory with more files". I don't care if there are extra files
in /usr/src/PKG-VER -- that's what it's there for. However, I'd rather
not have 4 extra files per package in */usr/src* -- it looks cluttered as
it is. That's why I like the step that puts them all in the same tarball.
The compression is incidental. The g-b-s can even extract the logs in the
prep() step, after applying the patch.
