I think it's a bad idea to have Requires: on extractors of all supported file
types.  The current list of "flac, arj, arc, cabextract, lzma" already looks
hopelessly incomplete and at the same time personally I'd already be annoyed if
installing deco would pull in things like arj or arc.  So FWIW, +1 to not
depending on *any* archivers.

On the other hand, if the supported archive types can be enabled on the fly by
placing symlinks somewhere (that's what I understood from the discussion,
haven't looked at the package), perhaps consider using %triggers (still without
dependencies!), see eg. the bash-completion package.
