Uh, normally, if the dependency generator detects a dependency, the stuff is
really required, filtering out the dependencies is a very bad idea! (You
typically recognize proprietary vendor packages by their missing RPM
dependencies and the resulting "RPM hell", i.e. having to install all sorts of
dependencies manually until the darn thing finally runs.) Please DO NOT FILTER
dependencies. (If they're really more than what's required, it might be a bug
in RPM which should get fixed in RPM. But maybe you're just bundling copies of
system libraries and end up with both Provides and Requires for those? If so,
please DON'T DO THAT. Let YUM install the system copies instead, that's what it
is for! We've had a bunch of "bug" reports filed against Qt due to an outdated
bundled Qt included in some proprietary application which broke all the Qt
applications we ship.)

What's wrong with nspluginwrapper? Why does Opera need its own?
