How do you solve the problem of needed libraries which are available in
Fedora Extras but not in other distributions?

Perhaps we can solve the

| BuildRequires: fedora-usermgmt-devel

in http://ensc.de/fedora/macros.fedora-usermgmt in a similar way. (I do
not insist on this name, I can name the subpackage 'suse-usermgmt-devel'
too ;))
