Stripping of pathname-based and package-name based dependencies I can understand, but not the library deps.
Are they the same across all RPM based systems?


The library deps sorta have to be. The deps come out of what the program
is linked to.

as an example run:
ldd /usr/bin/xterm

and look at what it outputs


VMWare-server should probably be split into two packages. Only the console portion needs the X libs and you can run it on a different machine, a different OS, or not at all, so it wouldn't make much sense for a run-time dependency for that part to prevent installation of the rest of the server.
