Heh. It's the same exact situation as with posttrans, none of the 
trigger scripts have ever been valid Requires() qualifiers, but the 
parser flaw has let them slip through as plain old requires.

Expecting these to work is perfectly reasonable, but I'll need to think 
a bit how to handle them. If you urgently need to rebuild, you can 
change them temporarily to regular Requires for identical behavior, but 
I'll make rpm accept them once I've figured what to do with them.
