I've been looking into this for Fedora as well:
https://pagure.io/fedora-kde/SIG/issue/37

There are some examples of dependency generators from openSUSE,
Sailfish OS, and OpenMandriva.

It'd be good to turn this into a unified framework that distributions
can use, because all these implementations are kind of scattered with
their own issues.
