While it may be technically questionable, it seems overboard to replicate
something that RPM is already handling for you. To correct it I would have to
manually check the requires of the subpackages for ones that are not provided
within the package and then find what package provides them. Then I would have
to keep this updated for new releases. 

The lack of versioned requires doesn't bother me since it's all coming from the
same source archive and upstream does a good job of bumping the soversion when
ABI incompatible changes are made.
