This seems to be an invalid issue to me.
The BitTorrent specification (BEP3[1]) specifies that "The name key maps to a UTF-8 encoded string which is the suggested name to save the file (or directory) as. It is purely advisory.", which means that mktorrent's current behavior is correct.

As it's purely advisory - as you point out - it meas that it can be changed without breaking the standards... at least that's how I read it.

Hi, sorry for the late reply.
toppez is right though. When creating a .torrent file from a directory, the only place the directory name is saved, is in the name field. That is unless you change it, as you do in the example above.
As tobbez quoted "The name key maps to a UTF-8 encoded string which is the suggested name to save the file (or directory) as. It is purely advisory." Here "purely advisory" means your client can chose to save the contents of the torrent in any directory it wants, but it is advised to save it in a new directory named after the name key.
If you just want to create a .torrent file with a different name, you can use:
mktorrent -a "http://tracker.domain.com" -o "/media/torrent_files/MyTorrent unzipped.torrent" MyTorrent
