Currently, when using the pack command it replaces .'s in a package name with an _. This is messing with my historic file naming strategy of using periods as separators. This also goes for the _ added between the file name and the version number.
Clearly it doesn't have a huge problem with periods in the file name as you still use them in the version number part of the file name.
Ultimately I think we should give more control over the generated filename so people can choose how they want it formatted.
Maybe we can just allow the passing in of a file name flag to completely override the generated name with an explicit value. I think this would be the simplest approach.
