They are especially wrong for src.rpms supporting --with[out] options (unless they actually perform the expansion). Source rpms does not enter rpm db, they are just bunches of files in %_topdir. I can't imagine how anything could use their dependencies to check distro consistency. Yeti -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
