Can't we instead add fake Provides: this-package-is-not-critpath
and ignore such packages from the script which makes them critpath?
This seems like a better solution than doing ugly things like dlopen
(and breaking automatic Requires, etc.)
Or just not care if they're critpath? I'm not sure what the problem is.
