I think that's somewhat misleadingly put, there's no need to use
--exactdeps if one wants to give "a name of an RPM" as an argument.  For
the example above, --exactdeps is only needed if one wants to get the
list of things that depend on the exact string <foo> (so dependencies to
things <foo> might provide are not checked), but I believe those use
cases are not as usual as the default --alldeps ones.
