Well, I can just place *.pkg.tar.* everywhere, but the point I didn't want it that much is that it is not safe for the case where this pattern might match more than one file.

I agree, it is unsafe and shouldn't be done anywhere. Instead of doing that, you can abstract it into a function that will do all kinds of safety checks before returning one file name, or a list of file names. This function then should be safe to use everywhere. As I said earlier: If we do this right once, right now, we never have to care about it again and always just upload and submit whatever compression format we want in the future.
