See quality/rmdepcheck#37 - getting rmdepcheck testing exactly right on ELN got complicated. My current approach is a wrapper script for rmdepcheck that runs it in exactly the right way for ELN; I'm planning to refine it so rmdepcheck is a real Python module with some bits shared between the standard rmdepcheck CLI script and the new EL-focused script, whatever I wind up calling it.

Once that's all done, we need to adapt os-autoinst-distri-fedora to run it appropriately on EL updates, which should be fairly trivial. I already have a branch that does this for the current WIP implementation, it may need a little adjustment for the final layout though, when I decide what it's going to be. This part is trivial, the work in rmdepcheck is the hard bit.
