Note that we are not orphan all openjpeg , because we have openjpeg2 . 
we are orphan only openjpeg1 .

Looking for dependencies on openjepg1, now we only have one dependency
[1] but only on BuildRequires which may mean that BuildRequires can be
unneeded and dropped.

In resume, two thoughts , one, is maybe we should move openjpeg2 to
openjpeg , is more than time and avoid confusions .
Other though is, I realize that we can use find_unblocked_orphans.py
[2] to detect unneeded BuildRequires and start dropping it,
particularly on old software . 

Best regards,
