I'm starting to package more of the X2Go stuff and running into some 
Debianisms.  Namely different source and binary package names.  For example:

The source package "x2goplasmabingings" with source tarball 
x2goplasmabindings-3.0.1.5.tar.gz produces a binary package called 
"plasma-widget-x2go" (which matches the way other plasma widgets are named).

So, is a package like:

Name:           x2goplasmabindings
Summary:        Plasma widget for control X2go sessions

%description
%description -n plasma-widget-x2go
X2go is a server-based computing environment with
     - session resuming
     - low bandwidth support
     - LDAP support
     - client side mass storage mounting support
     - audio support
     - authentication by smartcard and USB stick

This package adds a plasma widget (KDE4) for controlling your X2go session.

%package -n plasma-widget-x2go
Summary:        %{summary}

%description -n plasma-widget-x2go
X2go is a server-based computing environment with
     - session resuming
     - low bandwidth support
     - LDAP support
     - client side mass storage mounting support
     - audio support
     - authentication by smartcard and USB stick

This package adds a plasma widget (KDE4) for controlling your X2go session.

%files -n plasma-widget-x2go -f plasma_applet_x2goplasmoid.lang
...


Okay?  Is there a way to avoid repeating the description?
