+rpm allows to use a script to automatically add requires, but it looks
+like it's not possible to automatically add Requires(pre/preun) with a
+script.
+
+So we can use find-requires script to automatically add a require on
+rpm-helper for package containing systemd units. But in that case the
+package will be installed almost everywhere (I think everybody has at
+least one package containing systemd units installed) so it's more
+simple to add the require on rpm or rpm-mageia-setup.
+
+Or is there a lot of people uninstalling rpm-helper to save space while
+they are not installing/updating packages ?
