Note carefully the doubled %%, as the value of %_rpmfilename
is *not* "just another macro" but rather a string that is
passed to headerSprintf() (read: just like --queryformat)
to generate the file name of the binary rpm package.

You can redefine %_rpmfilename in a spec file, on the command line,
or from rpm configuration just like all macros.

FWIW, I'd suggest not defining %_rpmfilename in a spec file if you are going
to distribute your package, as another packager may be surprised at
your choice of file name.
