well, afaik:

- pkgs build with SuSE lzma patch have 
  rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) <= 4.4.2-1
and SuSE rpm provides rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) = 4.4.2-1

as for PayloadIsLzma 4.4.6-1, it comes from jbj's rpm

- Mandriva 2008.0 and 2008.1 have support for rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) =
  4.4.6-1 (and used it for openoffice binary pkgs)

- currently Mandriva pkgs have
  rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) <= 4.4.6-1
  (to ensure older versions of Mandriva can handle those pkgs)

but i modified the patch so rpm now provides rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) = 4.4.2-1
(to be more compatible, esp. with SuSE rpms)

this versioning is real mess :'-(
