No that is not necessary, by adding the "-n" option to all places where you
add a sub package name, the $srcrpmname- prefix gets removed.

So lets name the src.rpm / main package libwebcam. If you then want to add a
sub-package named just uvcdynctrl rather then libwebcam-uvcdynctrl, put the
following in the spec:

%package -n uvcdynctrl
Summary: ...
Requires: libwebcam = %{version}-%{release}

%description -n uvcdynctrl
Development libraries and headers for libwebcam.

...

%post -n uvcdynctrl
<stuff here if needed>

%files -n uvcdynctrl

Not necessary, see above :)

Nice to meet you!
