[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Python module's name changed unnecessarily, making it impossible to express dependencies on it (#373)

BTW, there's a rather [cryptic bit](https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html#metadata) of the setuptools docs that sort of suggests you might be able to use a `provides` kwarg to `setup()`, so we could try something like:

    setup(name='@PACKAGE_NAME@',
    version='@VERSION@',
    provides='rpm-python',
    ...

I've no idea how well that works in practice, though - whether the tools would respect it and so on. I've never tried it, or noticed something that uses it...
