Comment (by JeremyRand):

 Good point.  IIRC the reason for this is that Namecoin's rbm scripts were
 attempting to make the rbm-built Electrum-NMC a drop-in replacement for
 the Electrum-NMC built without rbm (which was intended to make it easier
 for upstream Electrum to migrate to rbm for their releases), and upstream
 Electrum's binaries had the version as part of the path inside the tar.gz
 file.  But indeed, this motivation is irrelevant to Tor's usage, so it
 makes sense to make the change you suggest.

 Updated branch at https://notabug.org/JeremyRand/tor-browser-
 build/src/namecoin-v6 (Git commit hash
 `8ad40dd97c73d0319275be7c811dbc2c4d641729`).
