You leave the file as-is. Except when one needs to remove embargoed
content (patented code, etc…) you shall not do any reprocessing/renaming
outside the spec file, that just kills the rpm audit trail and general
reproduceability.

It may be important to you as packager. In that case your job is to
convince upstream to fix their habits.
