The Developer's guide <http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/packaging.html#directory-structure> states the ported packages' tarballs have to be in *lower case* : "The build scripts and associated files are in a subdirectory SAGE_ROOT/build/pkgs/package, where you replace package with a lower-case version of the upstream project name."
That's about the directory in build/pkgs, not the tarball name.
