The topic can surprise you, but here the reason of this question.

Rpm has internal dependencies (you can see it in rpm --showrc), and some of 
this dependencies are set into rpm archive (Requirement in header).

I hope all on this list know that.

So now imagine I want to update my powerfull distro from version A to B. The 
dedicated installer tools (urpmi/yum/whatever) will fetch index. But the 
tools will be unable to detect one of rpm coming in B need first last rpm 
because an internal dependencies.

So, wouldn't be better for rpm packages of rpm to have it providing it's 
rpmlib dependencies ?

Regards.
