libguestfs is using its own find-requires script, which is what appears
to be generating those.  From a quick look it's not clear whether it
really needs exactly those files or whether just a soname match would be
good enough.  http://bugzilla.redhat.com/547496 seems to be the relevant
bug.

In general we should probably carp about file reqs that look like DSO
deps, especially since rpm has %{isa} now.  But this case might be
special.
