The packages built by RPM 5 just show the following "rpmlib"
requirements...

| rpmlib(PartialHardlinkSets) <= 4.0.4-1

...while packages built with RPM 4.2.1 show a lot more:

| rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1
| rpmlib(PartialHardlinkSets) <= 4.0.4-1
| rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
| rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
| rpmlib(PayloadIsBzip2) <= 3.0.5-1

Is there any reason for this difference? I mean OpenPKG uses BZIP2
compression also with RPM 5, so I expected to see at least the
rpmlib(PayloadIsBzip2) requirement always...
