it still says that no deps are needed, but should list a dependency
for touch/coreutils in there.
At first, I thought
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#head-4cadce5e79d38a63c...
applied here, but that's only for BuildRequires.
Do we need to come up with a similar list for packages assumed to be present
at run-time, stuff like:
glibc kernel coreutils
??

Unless I'm wrong coreutils shouldn't be assumed to be installed
(although it could be assumed that it gets installed) during the
prescript run, for example if installing in a chroot. I guess that sh
(or /bin/sh) may be assumed to be installed, however.

sh is added automatically as a prereq. coreutils would need explicitly
listed.

glibc is always pulled in via rpm's soname dependency mechanism,
kernel please not, as it is already a pain to run a chroot w/o a
kernel due to some dependencies. coreutils probably yes, but some
packages need to be exempted (probably filesystem and setup)
