If the packager does that, it makes the  rpmdev-diff  command less useful,
The src.rpm file name should be different for each new update to the spec

It's common practice to document spec changes in the %changelog. Packagers,
who don't do that during review, often don't know yet how helpful the
changelog can be when running into packaging issues later.
