I definitely want to add this feature. However, the implementation is
overly complicated; only one upload client need be supported, which
should then be added to requires:. (Yes, I'm aware that downloading
handles wget or curl, but that is legacy code and the same should apply
there.) The pkg_name for loops are also incorrect wrt subpackages.

Merged, with a note in the documentation wrt portability.

If all you want to do is copy files to $S during unpacking, just add
them to SRC_URI.
