The code is only concerned with dependencies between packages in the submitted set, and works by lopping off the extension (eg. "foo-doc" -> "foo") until it finds the common BR: http://git.annexia.org/?p=fedora-mingw.git;a=blob;f=smock/smock.pl;h=76a1a542f3e467bfab7004335fdd809396f1244d;hb=HEAD#l191 This of course is quite simple and won't catch package "foo" which generated subpackage "bar", but since we have all the SRPMs [hence, specs] available it should be possible to modify the code to handle that case as well. Or if you have a specific set of packages in mind, just add a hack into the above function -- smock was never designed as a generic tool for this, which is why we never tidied it up and gave it a proper release.
