hold the batphone batman
rpm -q dovecot
dovecot-0.99.10.9-1,FC3,1

rpm -q --provides dovecot
config(dovecot) = 0.99.10.9-1,FC3,1
dovecot = 0.99.10.9-1,FC3,1

so what we are saying here is... 
rpm understand provides with commas
but doesn't understand requires with commas.

I'm getting a hint of inconsistency here between how provides and
requires are parsed.
