The Python RPM dependency generator (that generates python3.Xdist(foo) requirements) will be adapted to also generate requirements on Python extras (e.g. python3.Xdist(foo[bar])) whenever upstream metadata indicate such dependency. An easy opt out mechanism will exist. A supported way of adding metapackages that provide such Python extras (e.g. python3.Xdist(foo[bar])) will be introduced. Change owners will add the missing metapackages that would otherwise cause broken dependencies (in non-modular packages).
