I'm currently using
DIRECTORY=`tar -tvf ${PACKAGES}/${CURRENT} | \
head -n 1 | awk '{ print $6 }' | sed s'@^./@@' | \
cut -d '/' -f 1`
where PACKAGES points to the source code, typically /sources, and
CURRENT contains the name of the tarball. The sed is because some
tarballs have contained names beginning ./ (possibly an old version
of util-linux). The fact is, there are loads of packages whose name
doesn't match the directory name.
