+    Fix regression on addressing main package by its name (RhBug:972994)
+    
+    - The main package name is not known when we start parsing the preamble,
+      so newPackage() is called with NULL name and the early callers use
+      NULL to find it. Populate the name as soon as we know it so
+      various "%foo -n <name>" operations work on the main package too,
+      which got broken by commit 9929459f9967ecfe0a05d557bc42531944faa70a.
+    (cherry picked from commit fed1298af7911145c953da8910fd5f2f15976374)
