13 It also means that if a developer has had to move files around or in
14 some way create the specific layout of the tarball for the ebuild, they
15 won't be lost if the dev goes away, or retires, etc. So attaching the
16 specific package creation code to the specific package unpacking code
17 seems fairly sensible. Although, I can see why there may be objections,
18 given the very specific circumstances in which it's useful...
