In order to read more information regarding automatic dependency
handling for RPM:

http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/s1-rpm-depend-auto-depend.html

CPackRPM relies on rpmbuild for handling automatic dependencies.

Manually added dependencies may be set using
the (recently updated) CPackRPM patch:
