Hmmmm... I'm not sure how to handle this.  The name of the upstream project is
"fb-contrib".  The findbugs developers often tell people to go to that project
for extra detectors.  So those who have seen a reference to it on the findbugs
web site will look for the name "fb-contrib" in Fedora.

On the other hand, naming it "findbugs-contrib" would list it with the other
findbugs packages, so those browsing the package names would be more likely to
find it there.

I'm really not sure what to do.  It would be nice if the upstream name were
"findbugs-contrib".  I'd also like a pony. :-)

How about naming the package findbugs-contrib, but having it Provide:
fb-contrib?  Would yum find it then if someone did "yum install fb-contrib"?
