Is there a compelling reason to build both at once and not to allow building an RPM without building an SRPM?  Ricardo 
Pérez's problem wouldn't have occurred had he been able to build an RPM without building an SRPM, right?

A *distribution* might want to build both, but if somebody's building an RPM so that people can install their 
customized version of Wireshark as a binary (and providing the source as a tarball to anybody who wants it), would 
allowing building just the RPM, not the SRPM, be OK?
