You're using a single value to mean:

* include me in some 'live-sources' set
* I need some kind of locking in src_unpack

At the very least, the two should be separate attributes. But the
locking probably shouldn't be an attribute at all -- the 'flock' shell
utility can be used instead to get much more fine-grained locking.
