We do try to get this right but obviously there are cases where we have
missed the dependencies - please let us know whenever you hit this kind
of issue, and we'll fix it up (or make a patch to build/rpm/fedora.spec
directly and send it through here for the next release - thanks!).

Yep, that's the intention - but we evidently have a few cracks to fill.
