+I think it should be Requires(post) and Requires(preun) if possible
+(tho' someone with more rpm-foo can comment about that in particular).
+You bascially cannot uninstall rpm-helper, so it's maybe not needed in
+this case?
+
+Not sure if that's something we can do with an automatic script
+(find-requires), but it would certainly be nicer than adding it manually
+all the time and they can just be bumped and rebuilt.
+
+If we do have to do it manually, can I suggest that the rpm-helper
+version be included in a macro to save any future manual updates when we
+deal with the mga3 transition?
