Ok, ok. Proposed soft-dependencies in RPM will be cool in this situation. But
in nowadays we haven't them...

So, now I've delete ne7ssh-devel dependency from ne7ssh-doc, but add warning
about it in description. Do you are agree with that solution?

I'm insist on claiming it important :)

I understood you. You misunderstood my point. Such dependency is very generic
and very ambiguous to be explicit. Really, all binary file require
elf-interpreter, but we do not add kernel into any binary package as
dependency!!! PDF also have many graphical tools and also many console
converters like pdf2text. Absolutely different situation with source code.
BR-dependency like gcc in most cases automatically deducted and written in
package. And we also do not want explicit add it. But, if we want compile some
code, we MUST write all dependency on concrete package to do that. It is a main
work of maintainers.
Off course, I partial agree with yours arguments what it is not fully logical
in -doc package (it is why it was listed as Requires, not BuildRequires) and it
why I try search reasonable compromise in this situation.
