As far as I can see, we no longer need the source package name initially anyway - that is: (1) the source package name is no longer used in the recipe URL, (2) we no longer need to pass it as the --package option to dailydeb.

Therefore, there's no longer a good reason for requesting this (redundant) information from the user when they create a recipe (in fact, the first question from pitti during the demo was exactly that).

If it is still a db schema constraint, we should obviously change that, but in the mean time, if we are not using it, we could potentially remove it from the UI and populate it with something temporarily.

I assume eventually we should populate it *after* the source package build, perhaps being returned by the builder.
