No need for a convoluted and long name like 'live-src-unpack'. Why not
keep things simple (how about just 'live'?). You are trying to say it's
a 'live' ebuild (i.e. it gets the sources from a live source) - that's
all. The locking issues are a technical detail, and there's no need to
spell out all aspects of the property in the name; it's just confusing.
In fact, you may want to change technical implementation details later,
and it would be best not to have left-over details in the name that then
would not apply.
