Okay, but what is the problem?  If you want to know what requires
libfoo.so.42 and do "rpm -q --whatrequires libfoo.so.42", why shouldn't
it include "foo-42-13.fc10.i386" in the list if some binary in package
foo is linked against libfoo.so.42?

I'm not saying it isn't mostly redundant, but I don't see what the big
deal is.  Is it causing a problem in yum depsolving or something?

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
