Not a clever idea.

Very oversimplified, in RPM-provides/requires, "full paths" symbols 
refer to files, while "non-full-path" symbols refer to packages.

As files/binaries may be moved between packages, there is no strict 
connection at all between a package's name and a binary.

RPM is pretty much irrelevant here.

Using full paths assures using the correct binary independently from 
whatever environment variables might be set and from packages.
