Right, this package has a runtime dependency to a perl-module/rpm outside of FE
and right, this means "pure FE+FC" users won't ever be able to install this rpm.

Exactly.

I'd rather not do this, because this would mean to cheat to users and to
artificially add inconcistencies to the rpmdb.

This seems more reasonable to me.

Initially, I had considered doing this, but had decided to package the Oracle
bindings into a separate package as convenience to users which might have access
to Oracle DBs :)

I am going to add "--with oracle".
