Which is why it should be packaged as a replacement/alternative

package Require'd by FE packages (as has been mentioned several times in this
thread)
If you don't make it a requirement, it becomes unreliable at installation
time, since it may or may not be available prior to a package which would
use it in its scriptlets. The bad thing about that would be that an
administrator, who does have enabled fedora-usermgmt to remap uids/gids,
would need to ensure proper installation order himself.
