In my experience, when packaging .zip files, which are usually targeted 
to Windows, one should refrain from including top-level folders, since 
they are unespected and often unwelcome

When packaging tar.gz tar.bz2 files, which are usually targeted to 
Linux, one must always include top-level folders, to avoid insult and
indignation.

These are both just conventions, but they are good ones to adhere to.
