Not instead, but in addition IIRC (it obsoletes the package and
provides the feature). But that would be nonsensical if the outside
package indeed requires git-p4 and we don't have it in our current
RPM: the purpose of dependencies is to not have things break silently,
and lying about what we provide would be wrong.
