Darn, I was afraid of that.  We are all perfectly aware that one package
(tarball + spec file) can yield more than one binary rpm.

So what are we counting when we count in public?  Does it matter that we
use the term "package" in two senses?

We've been counting binary rpms as the "number of packages that Fedora
has."

Do we need different terminology here?
