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.
