         lam
    </rpm> *

 <package>
    <rpm distro=x ver=y>
        lam-foo
    </rpm> *
    <rpm distro=x ver=y>
        lam-bar
    </rpm> *

 <package>
    <rpm distro=x ver=y>
        lam-foo

    </rpm> *
    <rpm distro=x ver=y>
        lam-bar
        <require> ... </require>*
    </rpm> *
