I just looked at x11/qt-color-widgets as an example of this. The
problem can be sidestepped for now by setting
PKGNAME=qt-color-widgets-${VERSION} and leaving DISTNAME to be set by
DIST_TUPLE.
The same thing would go for github, too, if using commit hashes.

There may be a solution for this soon if the tests pan out like I
hope...
