You'll need to take this up with the sourcenav mailing list
(sourcemaster is just the sysadmins). I do know that the priority has
been to get it out quickly rather than try to clean up everything
first.

6.1 Make sure tarballs always unpack into a single new directory
The single most annoying mistake newbie developers make is to build tarballs
that unpack the files and directories in the distribution into the current
directory, potentially stepping on files already located there. Never do
this!
Instead, make sure your archive files all have a common directory part named
after the project, so they will unpack into a single top-level directory
directly beneath the current one.
P.S: Home page of Source-Navigator does not tell, how to report bugs.
