I will use the same argument with s/an RPM transaction/a Linux
install/ ;)

dnf is slow enough as it is, and anything we can do to help it out is
a good change in my book. The impact of a single package might not be
measurable, but hopefully other packagers are also paying some
attention to the topic and avoiding creating unnecessary binary
packages.

Anyway, I'll try to cook up a patch for this that is completely
stand-alone with respect to the other changes, so once it's on the
list we can discuss whether to merge it or throw it away :)
