Requirements on files at other paths are technically also possible but they might trigger the need for download of additional repodata files by dnf when such a package is being installed, therefore they are not recommended." ... or something like that. I will need to check the exact paths etc. but after some more polish....could i open a pull request for this somewhere? I think it doesn't matter that lazy loading is not implemented yet.
