It's usually fairly easy to workaround distro package naming differences
without complex conditionnals by using file dependencies. (Some people
will try to remove them just because some tools may be slower processing
file deps. Well, duh, it's an old rpm feature, it works on every distro,
it's simple — conditionnals and other complex workarounds are just not
worth it IMHO. KISS)
