As for OpenPKG I already had to patch RPM to get rid of the "A" part
of "NEVRA" (just "A" is too weak for OpenPKG and hence it is better
to not display it at all in any outputs), I would like to go one step
further: all places where RPM currently outputs the NEVRAs tuple
<N,E,V,R,A> as the plain text "N-V-R.A" should be made more flexible
and actually output via a macro expansion like "%{?__display_nevra N E
V R A}%{!?__display_nevra N-V-R.A}". This way Stefan's request and my
requests can be solved like this (except that the use of rpm.query()
might be a performance problem):

#   Stefan:
%__display_nevra() %{lua: \
    local N, E, V, R, A = unpack(util.rsplit(rpm.expand("%*"), "\\s+")) \
    local P, B = unpack(util.rsplit(rpm.query("%{Project} %{Branch}"), "\\s+")) \
    print(string.format("%s-%s-%s-%s.%s", N, V, P, B, R, A)) \
}

#   Ralf:
%__display_nevra() %{lua: \
    local N, E, V, R, A = unpack(util.rsplit(rpm.expand("%*"), "\\s+")) \
    print(string.format("%s-%s-%s", N, V, R)) \
}
