G'day Les, good to see you again, virtually speaking!
Note that the file name need not fully reflect the package name; the
package could be el5.centos.i386.rpm and the file .el5.lesbell.i386.rpm,
I think this the file name:
-14: _rpmfilename %{_build_name_fmt}
and that inherits this (one line):
-14: _build_name_fmt
%%{ARCH}/%%{NAME}-%%{VERSION}-%%{RELEASE}.%%{ARCH}.rpm
It might be good to include _build_vendor in the name. I've not tested
it but I think it won't affect dependency resolving.
