Or you could just declare this whole argument over and done with.

Just talk one of the Samba developers into adding the following to the
spec file they supply:

Provides:  samba = %{version}, samba-common = %{version}, samba-client = %{version}, samba-swat = %{version}

You could even add "samba-server = %{version}" if you were so
inclined.

HTH,
