Sure, but it also introduces an indirection within the specfile as we'd no
longer have explicit scriptlet dependencies to executables being used in
them. I think this is somewhat frowned upon, but I can't find a guideline
reference right now.
BTW, somehow I feel that if the dependency would be on shadow-utils, it'd be
more natural to also invoke useradd/groupadd from $PATH without
hardwired /usr/sbin (or %{_sbindir}). Anyone else have the same feeling?
