How about that : $ rpm -q bash-completion bash-completion-0.0-0.fdr.4.20041017 I see your point, adding something else than the name into the package Name tag is opening the door to crazy things, like configure tags (is there really a Debian package with configure tags in the name ???). Still, I think that it could be very beneficial to provide easy upgrade paths. I think that the advantages overcome the shorcomings in this situation.
