I think it is off topic. I want to tell about this later, but this requires
some background, for example, ALT `rpm-build` optimizes subpackages
interdependencies (dependecies between packages built from one source package)
to strict dependency. Historically, these strict dependecies was like `name =
EVR`, but now it is even stricter because it contain a DistTag, as it can be
seen in @imz example. But this can be *only* for packages built from one source
code. Here is the [code that optimize
interdeps](http://git.altlinux.org/gears/r/rpm-build.git?p=rpm-build.git;a=blob;f=build/interdep.c;h=cab619844724a5b920eac5785cfbea3867c5decb;hb=aa125cd61d1aed7e5d4bab57c236ccfafe7d8e1e#l780).
I think this scheme won't be plainly adopted by other distributions but this
is a concept you can view on and think about.
