Maybe my question was not clear : qt4-database-plugin-
sqlite-4.7.3-1.mga1.i586.rpm is needed *as a new requirement* of another 
updated package. Do we link only qt4-database-plugin-
sqlite-4.7.3-1.mga1.i586.rpm from Core Release to Updates, or do we link all 
packages from its SRPM, which is qt4 ?

Said otherwise : must we keep a coherence between RPMs and SRPMs in Core 
Updates ?
