Something similarly irritating is that the arch isn't shown, which
causes me constant pain on x86_64. I finally managed to hack this
together with the help of some googling, put this in ~/.rpmmacros:
%_query_all_fmt %{name}-%|epoch?{%{epoch}:}|
%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}
Is there any reason this can't become default in our shiny new community
rpm fork?
