I thought about <source-file> as well, but given that <resource-file> is already implemented on other platforms, I think it would make sense to have it for Android.
Another thought is that it's more semantically correct. E.g. We might at some point make target-dir optional for android (it's optional on other platforms), and just infer the directory from the package declaration.
