It is probably easier to add that
information directly to the packages.
Rpmbuild could inspect *.desktop file and produce Provides: from it or
add a new tag. That way there'd be a distribution independent format and
way to retrieve this data and the Fedora infrastructure doesn't have to
deal with the generation on its own.
Can someone please elaborate a bit what pieces of information are really
needed? The .desktop files as a whole?
