Ah, ok. The point is that we can't support every target yet[0]

focusing e.g. on OMAP3/4 (BeagleBoard and PandaBoard) in the test kernel
available so far. For everyone else, it's desired to have something that
satisfies RPM about kernel deps and allows things like dracut to
install. All of this works great once the fake deps are in place - I've
a system booting with root encrypted LVM with dracut on F13 for example,
but the kernel itself is for Freescale iMX5 and not in RPM format yet.
So why not provide the fake-kernel package from the kernel SRPM you do
have? If you have your own non-mainline packages then it makes more
sense to put the hacks there than it does to put them in the mainline
distribution.
