Maemian/Minimae checks after builds

# Make sure the name of the binary package that gets built is the same as the package name. i.e. a package called foo should build a binary called foo, not bar.
If this restriction is about that the source package name and resulting binary package name have to be the same, it's not going to work.

There are numerous libraries where source package names and binary package names are not the same (boost and sdlgfx come to my mind first). Many source package also produces multiple binary packages. Also for some applications it's natural to use separate name from source package name, gnome-games source produces aisleriot binary in diablo.
