an RFE

Folks,

I'd like to issue an RFE:

the source download for some packages goes into
 /usr/src/<package name>/

many others, however, dump their content straight into
 /usr/src/

I'd like to propose making the former scheme mandatory.
This makes having and keeping up-to-date a local source
repository much easier.

Dunno whether this would require a change to setup's source or whether this would put a burden on indiv. maintainers to make this happen.

Kindly,
H.
