To clarify, the use of rich dependencies is banned from use for Requires: and
Recommends: dependencies. It is safe for use on Suggests:, Enhances: and
Supplements:. In particular, this means that it is still acceptable to generate
language subpackages using Supplements.
("Rich dependencies" refers to dependencies that specify "and" or "or" for
extended rule-processing).
