OK, I have clearly been labouring under a misconception.  I had always assumed
that an RPM's requirements listed the other RPM's that it required.  Full Stop!
 And that the question of which release each one came from was irrelevant.

What will you do when the time comes for 9.1?  Perhaps you just have a script
which will go round and update all the 9.1 RPMs so that they depend on the
library versions shipping with 9.1?  Or perhaps you just install everything and
if it doesn't break then you ship it?  This would explain why I often find
inconsistent dependencies where packages either insist on things they don't
realy need or don't ask for things that they do.

Anyway, I will now go back to my previous approach of sorting the problem out
myself and leaving everyone else to do the same.  I won't bother you with
dependency problems again.
