If Bryan had read the guidelines and recommendations for Manrake spec
files he would know that this is the dirty way of creating a spec file
which Mandrake doesn't *want* to have.
This thing was more than one time mentioned on this list.
E.g.:
netscape should not "provides: netscape", but something like "provides:
web-browser html-browser".
This has nothing to do with deb and rpm.
(Hey Bryan? Again faulty logic? ;-) )
