+All packages should provide tar files for the distribution of their
+releases.  The tar file for version @address@hidden of program
address@hidden should be named @address@hidden@var{n}.tar}.  It should
+unpack into a subdirectory named @address@hidden@var{n}}.  Tar
+files should not unpack into files in the current directory, because
