Example : The upstream tarball of the lablgtk2 package contains only a
lablgtk-2.2.0 directory. dpkg-source is able to understand that, and
move the lablgtk-2.2.0 to lablgtk2-2.2.0 automatically, but
odpkg-buildpackage fails to do that, and dies. 

Also, it would be nice to build in a subdirectory, easier to cleanup
afterward.
