Hm? I don't understand you. If a developer ("package maintainer")
updates and cares about foo.spec, (s)he knows that this package needs
or not any tetex-package.

From tetex to texlive? In the most cases the name is "equal" (texlive-foo
instead of tetex-foo). Any cases: search in poldek which package provides
tetex-foo and can find that texlive-foo2 provides tetex-foo. Or this isn't
solution?

So do you say that should be create texlive2008.spec?
