rpm does that itself because the new xen.rpm has a provides
"libxyz.so.0() (64bit)" and other packages linking against that SONAME
have a requires "libxyz.so.0() (64bit)" so rpm and package managers
above rpm can find the relationship between the two packages.

I dont see an undesirable effect because the selfcompiled xen.rpm
contains everything required to run a dom0.
