[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Missing concise descriptions for rpm header tags (#1319)

The only meaningful reference I could find on packaging policies is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/SELinux_Independent_Policy  

Looking at memcached, the policy file is simply packaged as a sub-package of the actual package https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/memcached/blob/6e70f59bdad0ba4cc1a1a7e5abc237d2e2f1c13a/f/memcached.spec#_120 with a bunch of `pre` and `post` actions.
But there is also an additional explicit dependency on the selinux sub-package declared, `Requires: (%{name}-selinux if selinux-policy-targeted)` which poses the question, what purpose does the header really have?
Is any of those headers actually being used in practice

I really appreciate getting a few answers to my questions, thanks! :+1:
