Sorry, RPM can't handle "might be used for this configuration only" type of
dependencies.
Yeah, but where you draw the line is an open question. Should all possible
functionality of every package be expressed as a hard dependency in the
absence of soft ones?
Certainly not. Consider for example that many people doing SASL auth
with sendmail will need cyrus-sasl-md5 and/or cyrus-sasl-plain instead
of or as well as saslauthd but neither of those are required by sendmail.
