Sure, but it also introduces an indirection within the specfile as we'd no 
longer have explicit scriptlet dependencies to executables being used in 
them.  I think this is somewhat frowned upon, but I can't find a guideline 
reference right now.

BTW, somehow I feel that if the dependency would be on shadow-utils, it'd be 
more natural to also invoke useradd/groupadd from $PATH without 
hardwired /usr/sbin (or %{_sbindir}).  Anyone else have the same feeling?
