Building kmod packages w. fedora-kmodhelper

Hi,

I'm using Ville & Thorsten's fedora-kmodhelper to build kmod rpms for
a package I'm working on.

Works really great, but the kmod packages always end up requiring
<name>-kmod-common. This is coming from the get_rpmtemplate() function:

...
	Requires:         ${kmod_name}-kmod-common = %{version}
...

Is there (or, if not, should there be) a way to make this optional, so
it can be turned off by the packager (for those times where a
kmod-common package would end up empty anyway) ?

Thanks,
Gabriel
