FWIW, adding the original tarball name after the "=" in the line that says
"export src_orig_pkg_name=" should do it. This will only make the GBS
unpack that particular tarball, and will do nothing to the name of the
resulting build directory.

Ditto.

Hopefully, packaging the modules for apache2 will be easier than it was
for apache1... Sigh.
