Sure Jacek.

The main reason I've added this is the lack of libjpeg.so.62 in common
PLD systems (th, titanium). This lib is provided by libjpeg6.spec -
it's obvious to me that when a user wants to install google-chrome and
gets the (for him) cryptic error message that a strange libjpeg.so.62
is required and poldek couldn't find it (because it's not in the
repository), we have to decrypt this message and tell the user that he
need the libjpeg6 package.

If the user packaged the browser himself he will be able to also
package libjpeg6 (now that he nows exactly what package he needs)
himself.

Removing this R: breaks the readability of the error and causes
unnecessary confusion.

I'm afraid glen removes this R: only to get his own comfort using this
browser on deprecated Ac systems - which are officially not maintained
by the PLD team.

Removing this R: is (in my eyes) breaking the package on purpose!!

Greets,
