I used to get tripped up on this too and I've been doing Linux since the
RHL 4.0 days. In some cases it's entirely unobvious (e.g,.
python-imgcreate-*.rpm originates from livecd-tools-*.src.rpm). Once you
realize what's going on, you can usually see the connection, but I suspect
some/many a would-be-bug-reporters give up when they simply cannot find
the binary rpm listed in BZ.
Perhaps the mouse-over and click-through help text of BZ's Component field
could better explain this. It might also be good to note how easy it is
to grock the src.rpm name from a "suspect" file using rpm -qif
/some/suspect/filename.
