Bug Description

We've observed a number of cases where Contents generation appears to race with the publisher. This is because updateContentsFile installs the new Contents file directly into the target dists/ directory; if the publisher happens to be running at the time, then it will have taken a copy of dists/ already and will move it into place at the end of its run, and will thus discard the updated Contents files.

We should instead arrange for Contents generation to place the updated file in a known location which the publisher picks up.
