if using RPM weak dependencies over yum groups, with yum it was
possible to involve groups belonging and conditional, so if vlc was
part of the extended KDE group and firefox was selected, then
npapi-vlc would be installed.
This is still an issue for end-users not wanting npapi-vlc but at
least it was possible to bring a coherency from the SIG maintainer.
With the current Supplement/Enhance situation, you can only have one
single conditional from the base package, so it would be better not to
add the Supplement in npapi-vlc and xine-plugin at all.
You can use boolean dependencies now (e.g. "Supplements: (firefox and vlc)",
which triggers the weak dependency only if both firefox and vlc are
installed). They should already be safe in Supplements/Enhances.
