Ok, you got a point there.

However, usually when one gets a TGZ archive named  "abc-def.tgz" one
(or at least I) would expect it to unpack into a subdirectory named
"abc-def", and not just "def".

In the end it doesn't really matter how the archive is named, so I don't
want to make this a philosophical discussion ;-)
I'll therefore make it the way you suggested, naming the archive "vdr-name-0.0.1.tgz"
and making the contents expand into "name-0.0.1" - unless somebody else
jumps in on this thread with additional arguments...
