Duplicated dependencies is a problem because rpm-md becomes larger. If
we would use Requires: python%{python3_version}dist() dependencies,
then RPM would merge them and it would be fine. But since we use
python3-foo and python3dist(foo), it makes duplicated dependencies.
So I'm just trying to send PRs to remove such deps.
