+Unless something changed, files dependencies are resolved at 
+hdlist-generation time as soon as another package requires them.
+
+For instance, the following line in RT spec file will make genhdlist map 
+/bin/rm to coreutils in the hdlist.cz:
+Requires(postun): /bin/rm
+
+I don't know how this work at rpm level, tough, in order to make 'rpm 
+-Uvh rt-4.0.6-1.mga3.noarch" work without urpmi support. Probably 
+checking in the list of files available in the target rpm.
