I had misunderstood your comment about the Provides. I looked at all the other
python spec files and saw many of them included what looked like a Provides of
their own package which didn't make much sense to me, but I figured there was
some mechanism at play I was unaware of. More careful examination reveals in
those cases the names had subtle variations in spelling, hence the need for the
provides. You are correct the %{name}-%{version} is meaningless, as to whether
Provides: python-nspr would be useful is hard to say at this point. My
expectation is folks will only use the NSPR component if they are using NSS.
Why? Because NSPR is a platform independent wrapper around system services much
like Python and it's libraries are so there is little point in using the NSPR
component of the binding unless you're compelled to because NSS depends on it.
Thus I think the right thing is to remove the provides completely at this
juncture, which I have done.

I will update the files with a new revision number shortly, the only change from
a packaging perspective will be the removal of the Provides.
