If people can't be bothered to look up srpm name when reporting bugs
then we must either live with that or remove the need to look it up
by automating this task. A half-baked solution like not allowing rpms
to have different names from their srpms is simply wrong, because
it unnecessarily restricts package maintainers without solving the
real problem.
