I think it might be a good idea to state this in packaging guidelines...
i.e. "Packages should either specify their requirements explicitly by
package names or optionally by a filesystem path for files under
/usr/bin and /usr/lib paths. Requirements on files at other paths are
technically also possible but they might trigger the need for download
of additional repodata files by dnf when such a package is being
installed, therefore they are not recommended."
... or something like that. I will need to check the exact paths etc.
but after some more polish....could i open a pull request for this
somewhere? I think it doesn't matter that lazy loading is not
implemented yet.
Thank you
