[Rpm-maint] querry on "rpm warning"

[devzero2000]

I don't think it is right to use context marked dependency (e.g. scriptlet
deps ordering ) for ordering package installation, if the packages
don't use these in first place (
http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/s1-rpm-depend-manual-dependencies.html).

If  absolutely necessary and the automatic deps resolutions of rpm is not
sufficient  just use plain  Requires: baz
