(I doubt it affects many packages though)
One solution would be to name the main package "slime" and make it archful and have it produce only one noarch subpackage called "emacs-slime" (%package -n emacs-slime). See utf8cpp for an example of how it can be done: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/utf8cpp/blob/master/f/utf8cpp.spec utf8cpp is a header-only devel package, but I wanted to run its testsuite on all arches.
