But they also take care of dependencies properly, right?

We could easily have the "fedora-logos" srpm creating many different
rpms, of which one would be for instance "fedora-logos-grub" providing
"system-logos-grub" and containing only the images grub requires, thus
not pulling in all of the huge backgrounds, splash screens etc. on
minimal systems.

Things would just work. I think this is what Matthew meant ;-)
