That is because of a premature roll-out of the new updates system [1]
where you are expected to enter the full src.rpm %name of each of your
builds before the auto-completion would list them with full NEVR.

Honestly, I have no idea how the major package contributors like Hans
handle that for their many a dozen packages. ESR would have run wild.

[1] Which otherwise comes with several good features, such as a web
ui and announcement mails.
