It should definitely allow package-upstreamver, since that's more or
less canonical.  However, generalizing a bit and simply checking that
the name of the directory starts with the name of the source package
would allow your other cases while still avoiding things like $HOME
(unless your username happens to match the package name, but that's
probably too much of a corner case to worry about).

BTW, no need to Cc: me.  (No big deal, though.)
