In my opinion, the source code should be decompressed in the original
source tarball, and it should be debian/rules who would have to create
the zip file with the extension .love that will go into the binary
package. That way, whatever patches go to the source code, will work
just the same as with any other package. Think about java's .jar files
and you get the idea.
