It would be unaccurate according that:
- We have different serie for one given library as nvidia,
nvidia-173xx nvidia-71xx etc.
- Because the previous version of the package will remains in the
updates repository, it ends that for a given serie, the version
release) needs to be the same.

So it would be better IMO that:
Instead to add a requires on a library, let's make the -devel
subpackage to requires
%{name}-libs-%{_target_cpu} = %{version}-%{release} (which the -libs
already provides and it is how the main requires the libs already).
Does that will fit the needs of the multilib push script ?
