And that should work fine when installing at a yum commandline, but can you
place a bit of rpm metadata in comps?  My thinking is that it's not "useless"
for a couple reasons: comps, recognition, and a pattern of history where this
has been done (everything from perltidy which packages Perl::Tidy but is named
"perltidy" to the more recent main/sub splits).

If you were packaging a binary program called, say, baz, you wouldn't call it
libbaz, would you?

Anyways.  This is probably better discussed outside of bugzilla :)
