Yes, you just specify a valid FTP URL for the package name. No, it
doesn't automatically find it for you.

I don't think this motif would work under the current RPM specification.
By definition, the filename of a package has *no* significance. The
package name, version, and release are all defined within the file (in the
md5sum'ed part of it, I might add). Does apt-get rely on a database
relating file names to actual packages?
