I already learned that much. :-) 
I was interested in how RPM actually generates this implicit dependency, 
especially concerning manual pages which are regular files and not links.

Thanks, I know where to turn it off. Thing is: I *want* it to be turned on 
and look for a way on how to create better packages. I think this is 
clearly a bug I introduced when packaging and not a fault with RPM, so 
disabling the check will cover my bug, not fix it.

Thanks,
