% The meta dependency does sound more reasonable.
% How would this affect installation? Seems it won't be just yum install

Of course you have to choose and install one of db backends.

% spacewalk anymore.  Would it be yum install spacewalk
% spacewalk-backend-postgresql? or turn into yum install
% spacewalk-postgresql and
% yum install spacewalk-oracle?

IMHO

yum install spacewalk-backend-postgresql spacewalk
or
yum install spacewalk-backend-oracle spacewalk

or spacewalk-setup could ask for the backend type and run 'yum install
spacewalk-backend-<type>' for you ;).
