Huh?  You want him to maintain a useless package forever, so that you
don't have to cope with a Requires: difference across branches?  Get
real.  Requires: footprints change all the time; and even if it weren't
an everyday occurrence, the amount of effort you want him to undertake
is far more than the amount of effort you save.
