The spec file starts out with:

Don't do that: keep Name in sync with the upstream project name / tarball name. You don't want to rename the package with every version bump.
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?
this will meet the shared library policy for "libswfdec" :) . I also have a section in the spec file for the gtk library; this looks as follows: %package gtk .....
for all libs, use %package -n libswfdec-0_8-0 %package -n libswfdec-gtk-0_8-0 Would there be no complaint if there is nothing packaged for whatever is specified with "Name: ..."?
