I think the idea was supplemental in that earlier Fedora releases were not
going to rename but they would have the virtual provide so that addons could
Require: drupal6 and that would pull in the drupal package when appropriate.
however, the idea of renaming to drupal6 on later Fedora releases wasn't
something I raised in particular so I think that decision is up to you :-)
(IIRC, the argument for renaming was that it would be less work to maintain
a drupal6 package in sync across Fedora and RHEL releases and in parallel
with drupal(5) and eventual drupal7 releases.)
