I dunno if this is really a convention. I do it. But I'm not sure who
else does -- I rarely download other maintainers' src packages... <sorry>.
I do recall on several occaisions folks have asked on the list "<NAME>,
what configuration options did you use to build the <PKG> package?"
Of course, seeing a question on the list does NOT mean that the answer
doesn't appear in the documentation somewhere... :->
