Should %{name}-javadoc package require %{name}?

[Peter Lemenkov]

Hello All!

I just found that many java-related packages have packaging issues,
and one of them draws my attention - explicit "Requires: %{name} =
%{version}-%{release}" in some *-javadoc packages. Since my java
experience is rather small, I would like to ask you, dear List,
whether %{name}-javadoc sub-packages really must require %{name}?
