[request] automatic file names

[costela]

Hi,

nfpm is great, but maybe it would be even greater if it supported automatically naming the generated files.
At least in the deb context, the filename usually has a standardized structure, roughtly:

{{ name }}_{{ version }}_{{ arch }}.deb

Where name is lowercased and basically piped through s/[^a-z]/-/g.

This would make it easier to use generated files with various Debian/Ubuntu package handling tools that assume this format is used.

I'm unfortunately not sure if there's an equivalent convention on the RPM side.

Maybe allow passing --target deb as a sign that the filename should be generated? Or if that's too implicit, a separate flag?

I'm aware that the feature overlaps with what goreleaser's name_template, but IMHO this would still be useful as a feature in nfpm itself.

sure there is: {{ name }}-{{ version }}-{{ release }}.{{ disttag }}.{{ arch }}.rpm

I agree, this would be good 👍

I think this can be closed now after #157 was merged. I did not notice this issue when I created the pull request so I didn't reference it.
