Think I'd also prefer it be kept an example for "normal" tarballs rather
than what is more often automated git archive with v${PV} which we'd
rather not be used if normal tarballs exist.
I sometime do see people do ${P}.tar.xz -> ${P}.tar.xz just because they
copied it from somewhere too (pkgcheck can warn about that tho).
Note wouldn't hurt, but special knowledge (->) can in general be picked
up later when it's needed, skel.ebuild does not have cover every details
and is just a starting guideline.
