+# DESCRIPTION
+
+RPM uses a pluggable interface coupled with a file classifier to add dependency
+information to packages at build time. This system relies on specialized, domain
+specific executables, called _generators_, that do the heavy-lifting of figuring
+out the dependencies from the files present in the buildroot. It complements the
+manual tags, such as *Requires* or *Provides*, in *rpm-spec*(5) files.

Yep, it's not very user-friendly to refer to non-existing man pages, indeed, thanks for catching that :smile: 
But then, we use rpm-spec(5) in other man pages, too, so I'll drop those as well while at it.
