Yes, SuSE puts installed source RPM's in /usr/src/packages. The spec goes into SPECS,
all source elements, including tarballs and patches go into SOURCES.
If you run a build against a spec, the tarball is unpacked in BUILD, and if you build
an RPM, the actual rpm files go into RPMS/${ARCH} (s390), and SRPMS, as appropriate.
