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.
