Just to make sure people do not misunderstand this point here: the
problem is not that we forgot to add the necessary informations to
our .spec files. The problem is that RPM just deals with two generic
dependency types: build and run-time. But for a tool like "openpkg
build" to be even more smart, it would be required that especially there
are _different_ sub-types of run-time and/or built-time dependencies.
So, although we know the problem, RPM still does not support the
solution.
