With the current build process, this would mean that we need
two
distinguished names, the directory name and the actual
publication ID.

It would be great if we could use the "copyless"
mechanism for
publications. Then the directory name would be entirely up
to
the user, and the actual publication ID would be the only
identifier
which matters to Lenya.

So, if we want to approach this, I agree to storing the
publication ID
in publication.xconf.
