bug#37523: Print hint if build fails due to invalid character in package source base name

thanks for picking this up.

Since this check is done also for other store-items, I assume it does 
not make much sense to change the message in the C-code.

So I assume the patch to improve this is to check the name on the Scheme 
side. (Or to make the da)emon return some meaningful error object. 
Anyhow I assume this is much more complicated and not a solution for now.
