But then how should I handle braindead upstream sources that unpack into
the _current_ directory instead of doing what everyone else does and unpacking
into their own directory? For instance:
andersee@dillweed% tar -tvzf nedit_source.tar.gz
drwxr-xr-x nirvana/nirvana 0 1997-01-16 09:47 ./
-rw-r--r-- nirvana/nirvana 1143 1997-01-16 09:47 Makefile
-rw-r--r-- nirvana/nirvana 4257 1997-01-16 09:47 README
-rw-r--r-- nirvana/nirvana 825 1997-01-16 09:47 nc.man
-rw-r--r-- nirvana/nirvana 86726 1997-01-16 09:47 nedit.doc
-rw-r--r-- nirvana/nirvana 1247 1997-01-16 09:47 nedit.man
drwxr-xr-x nirvana/nirvana 0 1997-01-16 09:47 source/

How do I pack this up using pristine source?
