How would upgrade work then? If I understand it well, RPM would update 
just "mailman" package, so the httpd config files would be removed 
(since they would be in "mailman-httpd" and this won't be "mailman"'s 
dependency). User would have to install -httpd subpakage manually. I 
think this is not OK, but maybe it's not problem to do it like that and 
it is me who is wrong :).
