--- Comment #1 from Petr Pisar <ppisar at redhat.com> ---
The issue with wrappers like Archive::Extract is that they allows to use pick
up from many options what current RPM's dependency mechanism without virtual
(=dummy packages) cannot. (Rich dependencies feature is coming but it's will
take a lot of time until becoming allowed in Fedora.)

I understand that bailing out instead of getting some sane dependency is at
least surprising. I will try to create the virtual packages monster and when it
fails, I will just hard-code some sane default.
