Manuel,
  I have integrated you package extraction xsl file into jhalfs. This
turned out to be a much larger job than I had expected. I have tested
the modifications with lfs and hlfs but have not done a full build of
clfs x86 (the only arch I can work with).

  I will upload the mods this evening..

Thanks :-)

The question is, will that new code help us to avoid issues like the laters ones with linux-headers, tree and clfs-bootscripts packages?

The problem of file names surfaces when the chapter name does not match the tarball name. We are able to strip miscellaneous information from the chapter name and look for a tarball with that text. This is an acceptable practice for 95% of the chapters but there are issues. Even with the 'new and improved' system we have to deal with chapter names that do not directly translate into tarball names.
  CLFS
  xxx-bootscripts (bootscripts-cross-lfs)  plus many others
  HLFS has
  xxx-gcc but they want gcc-core-4.1.1

I don't think we will ever be able to eliminate the tweaking of tarball names unless we look at all of the books and come up with a common method to describe what file(s) are necessary for a given chapter. (oh no.. not more xsl work) Then you would only need to do a lookup of the chapter name and retrieve the tarball name(s). HLFS currently uses gcc-core-x.x.x but if they change over to the full gcc package we will have to do an intervention to correct the current 'hack'. The proposed method would be transparent to tarball name changes.
   Chap       tarball
  xxx-gcc  gcc-core-4.1.1.tar.bz2
  xxx-gcc  gcc-4.1.1.tar.bz2
