If you are talking about file-name changes, then in my experience:
1) Many GNU maintainers will favor renaming of files to make them work
on 8+3 filesystems.
2) If that isn't enough, you could include a filename-mapping file in
the official distribution, which, if submitted to DJTAR via the -n
switch, will automatically rename files when the distribution is
unpacked. (GNU Textutils actually uses this technique.)
