Agreed, I think.

I don't see how defaulting to ‘...${VCS_TYPE}-checkout’ ever makes sense
or saves effort.

We should be able to improve the quality of these guesses: the
repository URI is about as likely to be foo://bar/<package>... as a
regular tarball URI.

Or we make a file-name mandatory for certain methods.

*goes to look at the actual code*,
