Here's most of what you need (I believe, untested):

    http://wraptastic.org/pub/jbj/rpm-4.4.2-suggests.patch

(aside)
I don't mind at all generating rpm patches. What is hard for me is
getting vendorized rpm to build on the boxes I have access to, and
to test vendor specific patches. E.g. it took me 10 times longer to
build PLD's rpm than it took to generate the rather easy patch.

So holler if the (untested) patch doesn't do what it is intended to do,
ignore Suggests: et al.
