The idea behind is:

you have some application with an issue/error. You'll do rpm -qf
<filename> and will get a package name, not necessarily the source
package name.
When filing a bug against a package, you'll need to know the source
package name.

Since packages should know their sub-packages, this would be easiest to
link them both from here.
