Dag, at least, points out that his packages may/will depend on other 
packages _in his repository_. This is the case for all 3rd party vendors 
He is also nice enough to point out when a particular package is 
maintained by another repository. Simply put, the RPMs provided by the 
Fedora Project are considered authoritative for a particular package. 
Any add-ons will of course be provided by 3rd-party vendors. The 
coincidence of names is simply that.
