Your packaging style sucks

Your file naming style for sucks.
The source release file PdfBooklet-2.3.3.tar.gz when extracted gives pdfBooklet-2.3.3 directory, which is unacceptable or causes a great deal of pain for packagers. Either the PdfBooklet-2.3.3.tar.gz should be pdfBooklet-2.3.3.tar.gz or it should extract into PdfBooklet-2.3.3 as expected by most of the standard packahe build scripts.
Would you mind changing all the files names to lowercase or use same files names which the tarball contains.

Sorry if this post was unnoticed. We were not warned about it.
Thank you for the information. PdfBooklet was created in Windows and that's why we are not aware of this type of question.
We have asked for years for Linux users to help us making linux packages, but no one ever answered.
The problem you are pointing is easy to fix, but now that PdfBooklet 3 is released, we are facing a totally new problem, presently unsolved :
PdfBooklet 3 runs in python 3 only. But when we create the .deb file, it installs in python 2.7. We spent hours on this problem without result.
Since we are unsure if the tar.gz files are useful, there is presently no working package for Linux.
Since you seem to have competence in this domain, please, would you be so kind as to tell us what to do, and at least test the tarballs, so that we can be sure to release something useful.
It is unfortunate that your post is anonymous, because we cannot contact you. Let us hope you will receive a notification about this answer.
