Have you looked at what packages have to include to install on more
than one linux distro/version? And fedora is the worst of the bunch in
terms of not being compatible with last week's version of itself. Give
the 3rd party packagers a target before you complain about them missing it.
As Kevin mentioned earlier in this thread, the soname dependencies that
RPM adds automatically are *real* dependencies and I'm not aware of any
RPM-based distribution that doesn't use them. So what's the point of
stripping them out?
Stripping of pathname-based and package-name based dependencies I can
understand, but not the library deps.
