New package for rocrail - upstream source tarball has strange directory structure

Hi,

  I have been working on getting bugfixes in debdiff files up to now
but would like to try to create a package from upstream from scratch

  Bug 172329 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/172329) was
opened to create a package for rocrail
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/rocrail/, http://www.rocrail.net)

  the source tarball can be downloaded from sourceforge here : wget
http://dfn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/rocrail/rocrail-1.0.0-harvest-svn2277.tar.gz

  The directory structure is causing me some headaches though

  it is /tmp/rocrail-1.0.1/Rocrail/...
  I would have expected rocrail-1.0.0/...

  can someone guide me to what is the best way to handle this upstream
tarball concerning this directory structure

     thanks,

        Koen
