The issue I see here is, that you most likely can not have a package in
Fedora which has one as dependency (explicitly defined via Requires)
which resides in a completely other repository. I guess it isn't a
problem as long as you don't have such Requires, but that might cause
your program to not work correctly or limits the functionality of your
program (in case the required packages from rpmfusion are not
installed).

The logical consequence of this would be to include it directly into
rpmfusion, wouldn't it?

Regards,
Dominic
