It's just 198 packages and we are just going to fix them for you in
following days. Once those dependencies are removed, we plan to remove
Provides: systemd- units from systemd package.
Any objections?
Why is it such a problem to keep a one-line virtual Provides in your
specfile? Removing it will require adding at least as many changelog lines,
so it doesn't even save lines in the specfile overall. It's just a pointless
compatibility breakage.
