We are talking about different things:

My stuff is linked against 'libfoo'. When the package is finally build, 
it records this depedency because of that. Now this package requires 
libfoo to be installed. It's there but not registered with rpm!

That's what I want to get rid of. Something like 'Unrequire' perhaps. Or 
another trick: IIRC, at some time taking the x bit from libs achieved 
that, but it's not working anymore since quite some time.
