+## Packagers
+
+*%add_sysusers* [*-b*] _LINE_
+	Interpret _LINE_ as if written in a *sysusers.d*(5) file and expand to a
+	(bare) dependency string as described in *ENCODING*. _LINE_ denotes the
+	individual fields passed as macro arguments.
+
+	When used with *-b*, expand to a *b*are dependency string. This form can
+	be used to implement *rpm-dependency-generators*(7) for *sysusers.d*(5)
+	files. RPM ships with such a generator (_sysusers.attr_) installed by
+	default.
+
+	When used without *-b*, expand to a dependency string and prefix it with
+	"Provides: " or "Requires: ". This form can be used in *rpm-spec*(5)

It should still mention Recommends, though, so I'll add that.
