Does Obsoletes automatically pull in koffice-core into the upgrade 
transaction?

How about this idea, koffice-suite (another sub-package) contains 
nothing, but Obsoletes koffice and koffice-i18n and Requires all of the 
koffice applications.  If Obsoletes causes replacement during upgrade, 
then the entire suite is installed during an upgrade.

If the sysadmin wants to cut it down, uninstall koffice-suite (which 
effects nothinge else) and remove other sub-packages to suite tastes?
