It's my understanding that the SuSE "ssh.rpm" or "proftpd.rpm" or whatever, is simply a link to the actual "ssh-2.3.x.rpm" or "proftpd-1.2.0.rpm". Someone from SuSE can confirm if this is true or if I'm just tooting out my backside...
Look in the full-names directory on every CD, there are the full names like ssh-2.3.x-y.i386.rpm and so on. We have both. The same is true for our FTP server, look at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/7.0/full-names for example. Even in the update area, the short RPM names are links to the full RPM name.

It is incredibly powerful, gives terse, cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
