As you can specify a sequence of mirrors in /etc/make.conf, it is less
likely that our mirrors will be down than that
djs.ddid.shf.in/~varajana/tmp/tmp/foo/foo/tmp.tgz will be :P

That is a correct, but should be considered a minor matter, as this step
will be performed by the developer committing your ebuild for you.

I guess that is okay. http://www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/${PN}-${PV}.tar.gz is
also okay, as this (most likely) is where the package will reside (before
it is spread to our mirrors. 

In fact, I think just "${PN}-${PV}.tar.gz" should work, but I have not
tested that.
