Yes, using a boolean will probably be better. (I thought about using the

Okay, I've done that now in my personal sources, so this change
should be in the 1.4.2 packages.
Thanks!
Another important thing to consider is what to do with those old
distributions whose kernels don't provide "kernel-<arch>".
Axel Thimm pointed out on atrpms-devel that it might be better not to
fall back to "Requires: kernel". First because this won't match exactly
and second because it is prone to upgrade errors, which, as far as I
understood, may be caused by implicit obsoletes that are created by rpm.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=130352
Instead of using "Requires: kernel" we could use a file dependency on
/boot/vmlinuz-<version> on that platforms, as suggested by Jeff Johnson,
the RPM-maintainer:

This will always work, so maybe this could be a general solution?
