Thanks Michael, this helps.  I think I'm clear about everything except
the wesnoth case.  Let's say I submit a wesnoth SRPM containing the
wesnoth tarball to fedora.us which creates binary packages:
  - wesnoth needing separate FC1 & FC2 builds
  - wesnoth-data with the arch/dist independent portion

Do I set the COMMON keyword on the whole package?  Create two separate
SRPMS for wesnoth and wesnoth-data?  Do something totally different?
