Don't do that.  It's not a good path to take.  When you have multiple binary
rpms built from a single source rpm, anytime there's a change to any of the
included sources all of the binary rpms end up being updated.  This is not
desirable for end users.  Yes, maintaining separate source and binary
packages is more work for the packager but it is nicer for the end user.
