Looks good, approved!

Ah, I see, although it doesn't require a file, you mean that it requires the
soname (libfoo.so.x) of libopensync, in that case the Requires isn't needed. Its
not a problem either though.

It does speed up yum when replacing a real file requires like:
Requires: /usr/lib/libopensync

As that would require yum to additionally download the filelist database which
contains all filenams for all packages, but here you mean a soname dependency,
which is part of yum's default metadata, so just as fast as a direct package
Requires, also see:
