But python does not:
Provides: python-email, python-xmlbase

This behavior is intentional; if python-foo only supports python << 2.5,
introducing a dependency on python (<< 2.5) | python2.4 will just break
all python-foo’s reverse dependencies, allowing them to be installed
with python 2.5 while they can’t work with it.

Thus, there needs to be some special-casing for modules being moved to
core python packages. As they are doomed to be removed soon enough, I
think they can live with some manual dependencies.
