Is it really wise to use a "-" here? You can not have a "-" in either
%{version} or %{release}, to afaics make sure everything can parse a rpm
nvr from right to left: %{version} is between second rightmost dash and
the rightmost dash; %{release} follows the rightmost dash.

I'm sure you tested it, so I assume rpm doesn't enforce this rule to
virtual provides. But something tells me this might create more problems
then is solves. Did anyone ask the rpm and yum guys if this is a good idea?
