Hmmm, I can see that keeping "Name: swfdec", i.e. with the upstream 
tarball, would be desirable in a way. But then I end up having to define 
%package and other sections for what is now the "default". This would 
imply more editing on a version bump than changing the value for "Name:"

What am I missing?

Would there be no complaint if there is nothing packaged for whatever is 
specified with "Name: ..."?

Thanks,
