Yeah, but that is yet another evil kludge in that chances are you will
not manually get all the real dependencies right.  If your doing this
for a non-published package I personally think your doing a favor to 
yourself by using the first kludge, in that at least on your systems you
will at least catch the real missing dependencies.  

Still, I think we probably do something like the "NoRequires" to 
specifically override the auto depedency generation.
