Debian has a mechanism exactly like this. However it is my understanding (possibly incorrect) that the right way to deal with this with RPM is using virtual provides, ie each database would have this: Provides: database Which allows any package that needs "a database" to require that. I'm not exactly sure how requiring mysql or postgresql would work out in reality, since they have quite different capabilities and SQL syntax.
