+Always adding the same provides regardless of what gets added
+automatically is probably better and easier. I'd like to modify or clarify
+your proposal a bit. When name starts with &quot;lib&quot;, use %{oname}-devel and
+lib%{oname}-devel as provides. oname must be defined in the specfile as
+the name without the lib prefix. That is usually already the case and this
+macro is used as argument for mklibname.
