This would effectively separate potentially interesting metainformation from actual contents, so I guess this boils down to the question of who uses the source packages for what purpose. The problem I can imagime that people actively using the source packages (who would as long as one can the same contents _plus_ history from git? - but there are apparently such users?) will end up with qt-everywhere.tar.xz in their ~/Downloads and have no real idea what this contains exactly after a few weeks time. Does it really have an impact on the complexity of the scripts whether the -beta1 decoration is on the file name or on the directory name or both?
