relatively recently (about a year ago, I think). So depending on the
sub-packages would limit which releases of distributions our RPM will
work on.
So, in order to support a wide range of distributions, our RPM still
depends simply on "erlang".
I expect we will reconsider this one day, but it is probably still too
early today.
(Unlike RPM, dpkg supports disjunctions of dependencies, so our Debian
packages don't present this dilemma.)
