Because I don't know how to tell rpm to do that.  

The problem is that cfitsio internally insists that the version you
compile with is identically the version you're running against.  So I
was manually putting in kst-fits (which depends on cfitsio) the explicit
requires of the cfitsio version it was compiled against.  Without that,
rpm would have just done the libcfitsio.so.0 dependancy (but cfitsio
people don't bump the soname every time).
