Bug Description

The current way of naming the tarballs distributed in http://shutter-project.org/wp-content/uploads/releases/tars/ is kind of weird, and makes difficult to properly identify a tarball with a specific release. It makes things difficult for packagers and maintainers on other distributions or in source based package managers like portage.

Providing a tarball named properly per version would make packagers life easier and the package would be supported by more distributions.

An example, for version 0.70.1, the fetch URL should be:

http://shutter-project.org/wp-content/uploads/releases/tars/shutter-0.70.1.tar.gz

@Vadim: Any concerns on renaming the tars? Are the existing filenames used on the site?

In case there are no possible problems here I would rename them today.

What is about deleting the debian/ folder from the tar files as well?
