The downside is, if you then rebuild the package like that, you end up 
with /usr/src/NAME-VERSION-RELEASE/NAME-VERSION-RELEASE[.ARCH, as of 
today's git master], which seems a bit repetitive to me.  What do you 
(and others) think about making the "topdir" also the "workdir" if the 
former is already of the form NAME-VERSION-RELEASE.ARCH, as per the 
attached patch instead?
