I've just had a quick look at the provided spec, but that leads to a question : can we add a package that depends on a package not present in the distro nor in RPMforge?
we can add it, but we should just add an ExcludeDist: el5 or whatever (and i suppose that will really not make the requestor happy).
why add the spec at all in this case? we'd essentially be saying "we can't support this now, but perhaps when el6 is out there will be an updated version of the dependency and we'll be able to build it then". i have a few specs in svn that cannot possibly build under el5 for exactly this reason.
