That would require multiple initscripts RPMs to be concurrently installed
- almost certain to cause problems.

We really have three alternatives:

- put up with --nodeps for now
- build samba RPMs without this bogus dependency. Since RedHat don't have
  a 2.2.2 RPM set, we need to build our own anyway
- build our own initscripts RPM which satisfies the dependency (we do
  need to have our own initscripts RPM, using the RedHat one unchanged is
  not an option). I have merged our patches with the appropriate
  initscripts version, but haven't yet verified that I haven't broken
  anything in doing so.
