But now we have upstream versions in downstream releases and release namespace 
is exploading.  So putting it in the name is wrong, putting it in version is 
wrong, putting it in release is wrong, that leaves Provides.  It seems to me 
that the only REAL reason for having the jpp in the nevr is for user 
visibility, which could be accomplished by rpm -q --provides.
