What really bothers me is that we already know what Requires(post),
Requires(pre) and such mean.  So going by that, Requires(hint) or
Requires(missingok) would indicate a dependency for the %hint or
%missingok scriptlets.  Which, uh, they don't.

I know that rpm specfile syntax isn't clean by any stretch of the
imagination, but I can't see the motivation for taking something which
actually made sense and shovelling in a load of turds for no reason.
